I had a similar problem after updating to 2.3.0. Restarting with the "Ctrl" key clearing most of the options fixed the problem.

Hi @Manjinder Singh,

Did restarting while holding the Control key help?

Does it improve if you go into Edit>Settings>Performance and disable Hardware Acceleration?

Factory reset did not worked but i changed preferences and increased the ram limit also after the recent update it is improved 70% performance wise brush lag is indeed in every software at 1% of spacing and bigger size user can customize some things to work accordingly. for now some brushes are slow than other mostly lag noticiable at 1% of spacing. thank you for your support

I'd be interested in knowing why disabling Hardware Acceleration helps (or can help) with reducing tablet or brush lag. Whilst it seems counterintuitive to me, it has reduced the very significant lag at times of the brush tool. I'll continue to use the brush tool this way for some time now to see what happens. 

I should add that the lag I experience is not particularly when using large brush sizes, but small brush sizes more often
