I attached a simple example scene.
try to move the bone, and notice how slooooowly the cube follows.
it's because of the subsurf modifier. even in level 1.
but, thing is, same kind of setup works just fine in 2.79, even with higher subsurf levels..
also, this used to work fast in 2.80 too.. because I've done couple of scenes that use the same type of technique...but opening those blends now crawl to a halt if I try to pose the characters.
