    Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!

     

    Dear Illustrator Community,


    I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.


    While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.


    Our Approach

    We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.


    It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

    hi all, i hope this helps someone.
    i'm using a 10 core M1 macbook pro. i have a complicated drawing and illustrator was stuck (the beach ball was spinning). i was able to open another instance of Illustrator within Terminal and work on another drawing in the meantime. once the beach ball stopped spinning on the first drawing (about a half hour, since i was running Vector First Aid on a CAD file) i switched back to it and was able to save.
    i hope this can help someone else.
