Has any one experinced CS6 Illustrator lagging and responding extremely slow. For example if I try to move a vector graphic it takes a few seconds before it re-freshes and updates. That goes for about everything re-sizing, moving, editing.....

I know it's not my computer. CS5 worked great. My computer is a Mac Pro running with 16GB of ram and solid state drives.

Any one have any suggestions??

    Same here. Anyone notice a gradual slowdown? Typically if I restart AI it fixes the slow. It's almost as if it's updating a cache of every window I open. Also, why am I always asked if I want to clear the clipboard? Apologies, thats probably unrelated

      Hi,

      I had the same problem, and it was almost unbearable to work. Then i found this solution to run your adobe illustrator in windowed mode ) 

      Left click adobe illustrator exe file, go to the properties, then shortcut tab, and see below Target: now you just have to paste this  -w 1600 -h 900 in your target location and hit apply ok. Please set your resolution according to your LED monitor size. hope this helped.

      Thanks!
