    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…

    Most Adobe users don't even know this forum exists - and I think that's on purpose.

    Complaining that not enough users participate in the survey is just peak Adobe corpo bubble.

    @nikolas-karampelas that is nice for you, but when my clients (that are also bigger companies) expect me to handle files in AI or PSD because they internally work with that, I can't just tell them to accept PDFs.

    @stuart-chesters In my last tryouts with Affinity, it was in general at least 10 times faster than any Adobe product. The problem still persists in a lack of advanced features compared to Adobe and of course Adobe being the industry standard (monopoly). So when a client comes to you he expects everything to be handled in AI and PSD files, which Affinity doesnt fully support. This is by design from Adobe, as PSD and AI are closed formats, that others need to reverse engineer.

    "Hey, these stupid user are STILL calling for Multi CPU support."

    "Oh, just tell them we make some performance improvements and mark the topic as resolved."

    Is this a joke Adobe? Can I in the future just pay a part of my subscription fee. when I say your demand was resolved by sending you 10 bucks?

    Adobe is to busy stealing our content for AI training, they have no time for menial tasks like actually providing solid software.

    That we are still BEGGING for a multi core support in 2024 is pathetic. This Thread is from 2017. 2017! 7 Years ago!
    Smaller companies created better complete vector tools in half that time.

    @InstyButte Typesetting2
    Trust me, even with the fastes GPU and CPU currently on the market, the program would still slow down to a crawl wit ha few medium sized artboards.

    Yes Nikolas, that is exactly my point. It's like adding flashy attachements to an 20 year old car, without changing the motor. All the new features are "nice", but what's their use, when Photoshop or Illustrator are crawling in slowmotion, as soon as I use more than 4 Artboards? I have 24 cores and 64gb Ram, but have to restart my photoshop tool every few hours, because they slow down too much.

    I really hope the affinity suite can catch up soon, to give some real competition.

    I think Adobe know that Nikolas, that's why they are tackling on so many "fancy" features on top of the broken code, like 3D effects, machine learning filters and so on. They just ignore, that they also need to work on the foundation for that to go on.

    I just hope the next Updates of Affinity will make Illustrator so obsolete, that they HAVE TO completly rebuild it from the ground.

    Oh well, another problem that's existing well over 2 years. Can't wait for the next affinity update.
