Photoshop extremely laggy on Mac

I've recently updated to a Macbook Pro (13 "with an i5 processor) 2015 and I have noticed severe lag on the side mac and I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem?

Many people are suggesting that my computer may be too low to run it, but I don't think that's true. I've used Adobe Photoshop CS6 on a junky 2010 Dell Inspiron with 6 GB of ram and an i5 processor running on the integrated graphics card intel and never met any lag at all, only when I was working on a document to 5000 x 5000 with 300 dpi, I noticed lag. In addition, I do not notice any problems with other programs in creative suite like Illustrator or Flash, so it makes me think that this might just be due to lack of Photoshops. Also, I'm starting to believe that my problem is persistent on Macs, given that my school also uses the imacs 2013 with built AMD graphics card in and meeting always lag of Photoshop, while my Windows laptop and the office has never really encounter any lag.

EDIT: Now, I strongly doubt it's the fault of my hardware. I tried just to make a photoshop document that is 100 x 100 with 72 dpi, and it continues to lag when you use the Brush tool or the pen tool.

Make sure you have installed the Photoshop CC 2015.0.1 update.

Make sure that you have installed all OS updates.

Try disabling the third-party plugins.

Try to set the preview font to zero size.

Try to kill the CCLibraries process (it will get revived in a few seconds).

Try turning off the generator in the preferences.
