    It turns out the problem is fixed only partially in 26.3.1, only for some users, and the performance remains slow when grid is rendered with lines or dots in Outline mode. This applies to zooming, panning and ghosting of objects being moved.

    Please help the team by providing your specs and answers to these questions:

    1. Does it work fine with grid as dots in Preivew / Outline mode?

    2. Does it differ from grid as lines in these modes?

    3. What is slow for you exactly? How severe?

    4. Is there a difference if you disable 'Grids In Back' option?

    5. What are you lines/subdivisions settings?

    And any other related feedback is appreciated. Let's track it down and get this really fixed.

    Illustrator v26.3.1
    Windows 10 Pro 21H2
    AMD 3900X
    32 GB RAM
    Nvidia 3080

    1. Does it work fine with grid as dots in Preview / Outline mode?
    NO

    2. Does it differ from grid as lines in these modes?
    NO

    3. What is slow for you exactly? How severe?
    Extremely slow and laggy. Grids are UNUSUABLE in Preview and Outline views

    4. Is there a difference if you disable 'Grids In Back' option?
    YES (but I don't want grids in front when working)

    5. What are you lines/subdivisions settings?
    Lines, Gridline every 4px, 8 subdivisions

    This problem with grids has been here since v25.3 (I can confirm with Kit Grose findings) and still hasn't been fixed. It's been OVER A YEAR and I have been unable to use GRIDS at all.

    Grid performance is not fixed

    Grids is still broken after a year. This issue also occurs on Windows 10. Both OS and drivers are up to date.

    I have tried the beta and the most recent update of Illustrator 26.3.1 and grids performance is terrible. It hasn't been working properly ever since version 25. I initially thought is was my computer. Where even basic templates with grids enabled tanked performance to make it unusable. After changing system to a Ryzen 9 with an RTX 3080 the performance with Grids in GPU preview (and pretty much any view when grids in back is enabled) the poor performance is still happening.

    I have tried Illustrator on 2 systems Intel i7 with GTX 1070 and Ryzen 9 with RTX3080 and the poor performance of grids still occurs.

    This really needs to be addressed as using grids is a basic feature (of any design software) and currently in Illustrator is doesn't work and hasn't worked for a long time now.
