is 2.2 faster somehow?

Or, maybe it's that it doesn't get bogged down at larger image sizes...

in the previous versions, the default image size was zippy enough, but anytime I tried to work in a larger size, it was nearly unusably slow with heavy delays trying to process brush strokes.

whatever the changes were, I can now work realistically in larger images sizes.

Thanks Archer. We made a major change to the way ArtRage handles memory, and made a few speed improvements to the rendering pipeline.
I'm glad to see they've paid off for you!
