Photoshop CC 2014: Running with 200% scale for the UI degrades performance
The aesthetics of this feature are great, however the blow it gives my performance makes it unusable. I am using a Dell P2715Q 27" 4K display, 16GB Corsair RAM, 120GB Crucial SSD as boot and scratch disc, and XFX R7 250X GPU; all in Windows 7. I was running PS CS5, but decided to do a trial run with PS CC 2014 due to the ridiculously small UI in CS5 at 4K resolution... The performance slow down from CS5 to CC 2014 is ridiculous with the 200% UI enabled, and disappointing even without it. My actions that run lightning fast on CS5 take a significant amount of time in CC 2014. All in all, I will be reinstalling my CS5, and reducing my resolution to standard high definition again... unfortunate that my brand new screen has to be held back to half of it's capabilities due to poor development on Adobe's part.

And yes, drawing on a high res display is a bit slower than drawing on a low res display - which can be hidden by a good GPU, but not all GPU drivers are yet optimized for high res displays.

But rest assured, when the scaling issue is sorted out with PS CC and Bridge CC, I will be the first in line to subscribe!

Is there an action you can share that's running slower in 200% vs 100%? I just ran some quick automated performance tests and didn't see much of a difference between the two settings. @ 200% we are pushing way more data around (compared to 100%) but it still shouldn't have a significant impact on your workflow.
Thanks,
Adam

I'm investigating this now and have the Florabella Colorplay actions to test. I'm seeing the difference between 100% and 200% in performance when running the Color Perfect action (haven't tried the others yet). What I've found in my tests is that if I hide both the Actions palette and the Layers palette, that 200% runs just bit slower than 100% (1/2 sec difference in a ~8 sec operation). Can you try running the action with those panels hidden to see if performance is better on your system?
Thanks,
Adam

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Something to note - i fixed one of the crashes by changing the log-in. So we have multiple memberships, however one of them constantly said try, instead of install. Under that log-in photoshop would crash every 20 minutes. When logged in with a different account, the crashes stopped... we also uninstalled/reinstalled
