Big cunvas + big brushes = lag in Krita

16k x 16k use around ~975MB per layer in RGBA/8bits
Not a big deal when you have a lot of memory, but can be quickly a problem I think

Also tried it on my side, on fresh created document it’s smooth with most brushes at 1000px; didn’t tried above.
I get some lags with more complexes brushes.

Also, hardware is very important; 24CPU doesn’t mean that it will be faster.

Here some posts about case I’ve got:

In synthesis when you have a lot of CPU, you also need to have a very fast memory otherwise there will be a bottleneck and finally you’ll get worst performances than using less CPU.
On my computer optimal number of CPU if 22 of 24…
