Although Adobe claimed that Premiere Pro CC can handle (usually) 4K files without much problem, many people have found it a painful experience to edit 3DR Solo 4K footage in Premiere Pro CC. And you will encounter laggy playback problems now and them. What's more, Adobe PP CC can handle (usually) 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. And below is Premiere Pro CC optimized 4K playback settings. 

The list of 4k editing optimizations for Premiere Pro CC: 

Hardware 

CPU: minimum Intel i7-5930K or equivalent. AMD lagging way behind.

HDD: at least 100MB/s read/write speed 

Premiere Pro CC Settings

INFO: Mercury Engine Transmit to second monitor, takes away apx. 5-10% performance (Player Window/Wrench Icon/Enable Transmit). 
RedCode/Cineform movie files: Set playback resolution to 1/2 or 1/4 size will increase performace apx. 10-20% (Player Window/Full-1/2-1/4,etc.) 
Increase Playback Preroll and Postroll time to 3-8 seconds for smoother playback, especially with slower harddrives (Edit/Preferences/Playback/Preroll-Postroll).
