Illustrator 2023 incredibly slow

[Adrian27600418jchq]

I used to use a licenced version of CS6 for work and it was fine. I have just subscribed to CC at home and it is virtually unuseable, INCREDIBLY slow performance in virtually every area, from starting up to simple blends. Feeling very ripped off. How can I be paying over 500GBP a year for something that has gone backwards in performance terms. Getting really behind with work because of this.

Can you please tell us your hardware specifications and what your system is?

How large are your files?

And: talking about blends, how many steps are in your typical blend?
