    Still have it. My grid isn't even a prefab. Wicked slowdown.

    I have it too. Breaking the prefab instance seems to be the only way to be able to work in large tilemaps (or multiple tilemaps).

    I'm getting this also and can confirm it is due to using an instance of a tilemap prefab vs unique tilemap created in your hierarchy. You can check yourself by creating a tilemap as a prefab, painting some tiles, pan around while Tile Palette window is still open and see the performance drop as you paint tiles.

    Now just simply break the prefab link to your tilemap and see the editor performance increase.

    I tried this in a scene with 109,003 16x16 tiles and the difference is that using a tilemap as a prefab instance, the editor locks up for minutes at a time until the next time you try to do anything vs normal editor responsiveness.

    Yep, definitely starts lagging way too fast. It's very annoying.. At least it works in play mode so we can edit in play mode and then copy the tilemap and paste I guess.

    A prefab connection makes the lag much worse, but it also happens to some degree even without one. With a prefab, even a 50x50 tilemap in a fresh project lags on my i7-6700k/SSD.

    I think it happens only if your map linked to prefab
