I have an M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48 GB of RAM, running macOS Ventura 15.5. I'm using the latest version of Illustrator 2025 (29.6.1). It takes around 20 seconds to move a single linked image, and the spinning wheel appears. In the end, the image does not even move. How is Illustrator even running this slowly? The file I am editing is an AI file that's 285 mb. I've added a video.

Hello @Adrian25699738e4qt,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Could you try the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/4lIOR3M) to see if they help? If the problem persists, kindly check if Illustrator behaves this way with all files, and if not, share a link to a sample file here or via DM after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so I can check it on my end.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Anubhav
