Yay! I found it! I kept looking for it everywhere that had something to do with brushes. It's under Image Windows! How unintuitive. It's took me about 5 minutes after already knowing it existed. I don't normally use large brushes being more of a painterly guy, (I often use a 3 or 5 or 7 pixel brush), so I haven't run into this slowdown.
