When it slows down, do you have just the PSP window open or many windows active? Most of the time I have word, chrome, (with 20 tabs), PSP, and my email open.

Once you have completely uninstalled both PSP 2020 and PSP 2021, try to install PSP 2020 again. You may also want to do the same thing for PSP 2020, with its corresponding cleaner listed in the above topic. Regarding going back to PSP 2020, after uninstalling PSP 2021 try to additionally apply a clean uninstall, by downloading the corresponding 2021 cleaner from this thread: On the other hand, tools like the Dropper tool for example, or the Red Eye tool, which do not look for stored assets or presets, should get activated pretty much instantly too.ĪFAIK, the exact same thing is true for all versions of PSP! If you leave the cache file alone, then the next time you run PSP, it won't have to cache again (it may do a little check though, for new assets and such). Btw, the cached assets and presets stay in your hard-disk, unless you manually delete the cache, or indirectly via any disk-cleanup utility. Same thing for the Picture Tube tool, Preset Shapes tool, etc. However, once all brushes have been cached, activating the Paint Brush tool (or any other tool that uses them, like the Eraser tool for example) should be done almost instantly.

This will indeed take a while, depending on your hardware and on the number of brushes you have in your hard-disk. For example, the very 1st time you select the Paint Brush tool, it caches all the brushes from your hard-disk. The delay when changing tools should depend on the tool you are changing to. In my experience so far, PSP 2021 is not slower than PSP 2020.
