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've been using Illustrator for almost 15 years and have been so disappointed with its decreasing efficiency. Was hopeful about the announced effort to improve multi-threading but version 29.1 has proven to be the worst and slowest version yet. It took nearly 57 seconds to select and move a single text element. See the attached and watch the seconds tick by. (The vid is a bit blurry from downsizing it so much.)
Yes, it's a complex document with multiple artboards, but when I was working on the same document last week -- before updating -- it was not this painfully slow.

Please upgrade, Illustrator. If it weren't for MaPublisher, I would have found something else long ago. Multiple seconds to simply move one vertex, ridiculous. Frequent restarts to clear the cache in hopes of better performance, quick-key actions are lost because it can't keep up. You all have to do something. If you want a vid to record how slow is it, let me know. Or maybe I should post it on the web ...?

Having the same issue. Resizing the artboard fails. Tried inputting numbers in the properties box, grabbing the edges of the artboard frame. Nothing works. VERY frustrating and time-consuming.
Mike Boruta, Nice engaging with another cartographer! And, I'll follow a similar path to simplify the file as much as possible.
Avinash, Thank you for paying attention. I understand that sharing the file would be valuable, but it's a client's, and I'm not comfortable doing that. Sorry!
I'll be separating the artboards into unique files to simplify it, and hopefully, that will help. If it doesn't I'll revert to the prior version. I cannot bill for Illustrator's incredibly slow workflow, nor can I afford to give away that much time.
