I have also noticed since the update pretty much every part of Illustrator is slower. Especially saving and opening files which they stated was supposed to be improved not degraded.

Did you try updating the graphic card driver?

The Wacom driver?

And also there are some issues with some mouse drivers.

Yes. absolutely terrible. and I'm with high-end PC - i7 14700k, 64gb ddr5, RTX4080 Super.

Poor Adobe. every update there's a surprise.

Same problem on my iMac 2019 with pretty good engines. Had to postpone my Task because of this !! I couldn't describe my client well about the task. 
The lagging was in every field ! Selecting objects, typing, dragging and Saving !! Wasted my 36 hrs of time. Had to set up a new PC ... but didn't have much difference !! This is too much. Need some kind of compensation for this trouble.
