Until Adobe can fix CS4s slow screen redraw, you have 3 options for speeding up the slow clone tool. 1-Go into the clone palette box by clicking on the stamp icon at the right side of the main menu bar. Uncheck Show Overlay. That alone will make a huge difference. 2-The more square inches the tool covers on your monitor, the slower it gets. Try to use the smallest brush [in terms of absolute area covered] as possible. But note: zooming in is not the cure. This applies to the brush tool also. 3-If CS4 is an upgrade, quit CS4 and open your previous version of Photoshop if you must use these larger tools extensively. But of course, when you can use smaller tools, and so you can rotate the canvas, reopen CS4. To paraphrase item-1: it is not the brush size that causes the lag but rather it is the amount of area on your screen being covered by that brush, no matter its size. The smallest brush will lag if your zoom is 3200%.
