BUG: View Grid (Dots 1px) Freezes Illustrator
Using a document grid using dots in small intervals (10px or 1 px intervals) makes Illustrator super slow or even stops working.
Bug appeared in 25.3.1 and is still present in 25.4.1. Tested on multiple Macs (Catalina + Big Sur).

Hey, big improvements in 26.5. It seems like the issue might me resolved. 🎉
Now all that needs to be fixed is the grid dots in GPU preview is smeared horizontally.

Bug is still present in 26.0.1. – Drawing small pixel perfect icons is impossible.
I've noticed that using lines as grid works without problems. So it seems to be isolated to using a dot grid.

I have the same issue on windows 10. Illustrator v 26.0. I was doing a grid every 1 mm. Once the grid was visible, any move I made would make it freeze for about 10 minutes.
