I just purchased the fastest available MacBook Pro. Creative Suite still dogs and pauses. What can I do to speed up ID, Illustrator and Photoshop?

Can you roll back to  an older version that doesn't need the same number of resources? New software tends to have higher hardware demands. Do you need all the latest features of the software?

Presumably you mean Creative Cloud? Which versions?  

 

Assume you're running macOS Catalina.

Yes. 5.0.0.354. Yes Catalina.

Which versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop? Have you ensured they are all the current versions?

 

Some people have opted to roll back from Catalina to Mojave to get better performance for their apps. I have not had to do that on my iMac.
