Keeping the File Browser closed when working on images can make an amazing difference - I still haven't worked out why it makes so much difference sometimes and not others (it doesn't seem to always be caused by the previews loading). Recently I had an image open and had forgotten to option click when opening, so the browser was open behind the image: Even using the zoom tool was a joke, with the screen gradually redrawing section by section. Felt like I was back behind a Quadra. Once I closed the browser PS went straight back to it's usual speed. I love using the FB, but never leave it open intentionally!

As for the healing tool, are you working on 16 bit images with CS? If so either convert to 8 bit before using the healing tool, or save, launch PS7, and work with that. Why Adobe had to mess with this in CS is beyond me, lets hope they fix it in PS9...
