Hi,
I've just picked up a brand new 6 core Mac Pro and I am having some serious lag issues with Illustrator CC 2014. I am just trying to select relatively simple objects (an illustration of the side of a coin) and there is a massive delay between when I click on an object and when it actually becomes selected.
Someone please tell me they know how to fix this? Please
My company recently "upgraded" my OS to Windows 8.1. (from a pre-Windows 8 OS) and I am now experiencing terrible performance when using Illustrator CC 2014. (2014.1.0 release - 18.1.0 (64 bit)). Most problematic is that every 5-10 seconds the entire screen goes black (not responding) for 3 seconds. I had a similar problem with Illustrator CS a year or so ago - I solved that problem by turning off auto-updating linked files. So, I'm suspicious that this problem also has something to do with

I've been struggling with this slowness for days, and I have 20G RAM and i7 2.4Gh CPU Performance and memory are not being maxed out, quite the opposite actually...
Illustrator is slower than Id or Ps. Ps actually has no problems. I think something is going on with linking files - I'm working with very simple rectangles and lines with no effects, but using a lot of linked photos from my work's server. I packaged each artboard and that seemed to help - including copying all fonts each time, but this didn't help much. Saving still taking forever even though I'm working 100% locally. Opening and closing the file is faster. Hope that helps some.

I have a large art board and an intricate vector pattern repeated a few times. Every simple manipulation of any object brings up the beach ball on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB. WTF?

Which O.S. you are using? probably Windows 7 which Illustrator CC works just fine. Our problem is Illustrator CC and Indesign CC running on Yosemite, there are severe bugs. However rest of the CC apps like Photoshop and Dreamweaver works great.

replying to my own post
now i got the new pac pro:
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
OS X Yosemite 10.10.4
using photoshop, Aperture, iMovie, Final Cut Pro and some 3D games it works like a monster on steroids but when it comes to illustrator it gets frustrating.
i tried every suggestion on this chat, from other chats and from multiple phone calls to the adobe support, in the end i got some improvement but its still frustrating.
after years of working with adobe this is the first time i'm disappointed

I have been experiencing the same problem since a Java update. Now it is limited only in one specific document which could mean settings, size, etc. Whatever the trouble is the problem makes working impossible.

Same thing here, on my desk and lap top. Lots of RAM new graphics card. ADOBE???? I can't use Illustrator to make complex vector art, so what good is it?

i had numerous phone calls to the adobe support team and every time they had a deferent suggestion:
1. Pause file sync
2. Delete the adobe preferences folder
3. Delet plugins
4. Valdate the fonts in the font book
5. Work on local hard drive
so far nothing helped
i'm delaying a perches of a new mac until i find solution to this problem and i'm considering switching to another application.
hope the guys in adobe grasp the magnitude of this problem before its too late

It's disgusting...I'm doing a 2 page newsletter that I do EVERY week and this week I can literally set the file to save, walk to starbucks and back and it's still saving....the overall file size is 6 mb....not a big file...what did you do Adobe! taking a 1/2 hour to save a small file is insane!

To those who still have slow illustrator problem, one solution that worked for me was this: http://palindrome.com/support/2013/10/27/illustrator-cc-issue-slow-due-to-missing-fonts/
I paste here what it says:
If you expeÂriÂence probÂlems operÂatÂing IllusÂtraÂtor CC, such as:
slow openÂing,
slow savÂing,
difÂfiÂculty movÂing objects, and
an inabilÂity to norÂmally quit the application,
then the likely cause is not havÂing a needed font open, or havÂing a conÂflict between needed fonts.
The most comÂmon fonts missÂing or conÂflictÂing are Tahoma and VerÂdana. These fonts are often present as part of
an old Microsoft Office instalÂlaÂtion. Try removÂing them from the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft folder, and restart IllusÂtraÂtor.
In some cases you may also need to open Font Book and reacÂtiÂvate these fonts after removÂing the conflicts.

Adobe just doesn't care about the issues anymore. It's been 2 years since i've asked them to give us a solution to Adobe Illustrator hang issue on a Lenovo 8 GB DDR3 RAM. Now we've bought a Macbook Pro and have the same issue multiple artboard artworks lag and takes unto 2-3 minutes to save every step. I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING.
