Startup performance
Illustrator has always been sluggish on startup, but 27 seconds on a recent SSD MBP is totally unacceptable IMO.
Thoughts anyone?
By comparison PS is ready to go in 7sec.
Standard install CC 2018 / Il 22 on MacOS 10.13.1

Our typical launch numbers on a SSD MBP is around 6-7 seconds hence we would like to understand more about the issue and problem.
Please get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.
Warm Regards,

About 25-30 sec with 30 plugins on my i7, windows 10. It's too slow imho.

So I have ~40 custom plugins.
Ai on my Intel i7 4470 3.4GHz (with 24GB of RAM) takes from 45 to 60 seconds to launch.
Then it’s 8 seconds to show New Document legacy (3 second next time) — and modern File New is even more than that.
And finally 4–7 seconds to actually create a document (and zoom to artboard, which I hate).
I have now 706 font families installed in the system folder.
Windows 10. SSD.I don’t like this launch time.
I have an access to M1 Macbook occasionally also, and Ai launches in like a dozen of seconds there.Please share your timings.

Hi Ashutosh, Thanks for coming back, I have only just been notified of this. I'm doing pre-release work with Ps and Lr and see no performance issues (making allowances for a laptop). On the other hand Il has always been a very slow-launching app for me. The machine is currently running a lot of apps and it takes 40 sec for the Illustrator banner to appear.
I always maintain 20-50% of the SSD as free space
