Feature Request:Feature Request: Better Multi-Core Support in Adobe Illustrator

Hello Adobe team and community,

I would like to suggest improving Adobe Illustrator to better utilize multi-core CPUs. Currently, Illustrator mainly uses one or two cores, which limits performance, especially with large and complex files.

Enhancing multi-threading support could significantly boost speed and responsiveness, helping professionals work more efficiently with heavy projects.

Has anything changed since this post was posted, because I still have the same problem with using processor cores in illustrator?
