Problems with using Sourcehan fonts in Adobe software

In AI or PS, when I use Sourcehan fonts typesetting a lot of text will be very slow.

Makes me unbearable.

Is this the problem with Adobe Software or Sourcehan fonts?

Please help me, thank you.

My software is the latest version of adobe, no matter how many typefaces are typesetting.

    At the moment I have five Source Han fonts installed and they work without lag in AICS6 running under Windows 10: 4 weights of Source Han Serif TC and one weight of Source Han Sans KR.  Have you tried installing various weights and locales as individual *.otf's instead of the colossal *.otc form -- which Win10 couldn't handle when the *.otc was first released?   My one gripe, irritating but not critical, is that IDCS6's Glyphs panel shows tiny chars., which doesn't happen with AICS6.  (I'll upgrade to CC one of these days, but I keep putting that off to avoid migrating a custom metadata panel to CC.)
