Note the black-ish circle

SUMMARY
Brushes with kind of low Density has bad visibility on canvas and appear as a kind of dark and muddy overlay, this did not happen in Krita 4

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Make an "Auto" brush that has a Density value of around 30% 
2.  Make it large and hover it over the canvas with preview outline enabled.

OBSERVED RESULT
It covers most of the surface area and makes it hard to see your results, especially when using Smudge brushes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Thin outline like other brushes

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Krita 5.0.0-beta5 Windows 10

It's not just that. There's also a serious performance lag along with this issue. 
Constant stuttering which apparently has to do only with the "preview outline" option, whenever the brush tip is complex.

Don't try to generate a precise brush outline for low-density brushes

It generates messy outline, paiters don't like them. Though outlines
will still be messy if the user sets "spikes" value higher than 2 and
activates low density.
