    It is not as straightforward as it may sound :) We have been working to take advantage of threads and other hardware such as GPU/Video RAM in places where it can make a higher impact. We are prioritizing areas that are slow instead of making a generic change and destabilizing the product. Product stability is the top priority for us and we have been consistently trying to improve it. We want to move with caution and make changes without compromising on the quality. Hope this helps.

    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.
