    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…

    I first added to this thread a year ago when an illustrator file I was working on brought my reasonably spec'd M2 macbook pro to it's knees.

    It's that time of year, and I have to revisit the file again. Despite the resources of Adobe, they still can't get this right and fix the performance issues with a piece of software that is considered by many an industry standard.

    With big files, the software is still buggy. Particularly when applying effects. It is nice to hear this is now being addressed. But in the real-world, no real change yet...

    It's really annoying that it takes upsetting this many users to start to move the needle.

    Adobe's lack of action is about to drive me off their products - after 28 odd years of being a faithful user...

    Currently I'm checking out the Affinity suite of software to see if I can just drop Adobe and move to something that's not such expensive bloat ware.

    Sketch is great for web stuff. Need a replacement for Indesign and something more adequate for photoshop replacement.

    Well, the have added a bunch of features, but I'm not finding I use them that much...

    I've just lost an hour that I'll never get back. My MAC has 8 performance cores to process this workload and I just get spinning wheels and incredibly slow response... If it's any consolation - one core is pegged at 100%. This poor use of hardware is effectively limiting the computer to 12% of it's potential.
