Illustrator running really slow, no GPU preview
Hi Illustrator 25.3.1 is running horribly slow on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) / 2.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 / 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 / Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB - it is constantly running CPU Preview, I cannot get it to use GPU. Zoom in and out is awful to use. Illustrator is impeding my productivity. Please help.

Having the same issue on Windows, automatically switches to CPU when dealing with bitmap images in Illustrator. I need performance with bitmap images, vectors and RGB/CMYK/grayscale images don't cut it for alot of my work.
Please, better performance with hi-res black and white bitmap images!

I have been having this same issue with every file ever since updating to Illustrator 25. I have GPU turned off, and have turned a bunch of things off and nothing seems to help. It get's to the point where even doing a simple task that should take 10 seconds can take up to a minute to actually do. I have removed everything and even reinstalled and nothing helps.
