Illustrator insanely not optimized
It's unbelievable that I have a 2025 recent PC, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, 64Gb RAM DDR5 6200MHz, RTX 5070 Ti, M2 gen5 11500m/s and Illustrator 2026 is super slow, with a lot of lag when zooming in and out, the tools behavior also super slow. Honestly, the worst version so far.

I'm having the same problem, the v30 update is incredibly laggy on both my desktop and my laptop. Both are running windows 11. My desktop has extremely nice hardware installed, and v29 runs fast and smooth. This is a HUGE issue for everything I do, and I cannot use v30 until this gets addressed. The lagging occurs during zoom (alt+scroll) and can last multiple seconds.

I see, thanks. So you mean it started only with the 30.X version only, correct?
What was the last version that behaved fine with this document?
Do you notice any difference if you disable the 'Show Artboard name on canvas' option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display? I noticed a pause in updating these when you zoom out, so maybe it’s this specific function to blame. -
Here I have a small video where I'am trying to do some zoom in but it's extremely laggy.

Juan, can you record a small video of the behavior, so the team can see how slow it really is, please?
