Illustrator high CPU and memory usage

[peerh12531587]

When I start working on a simple logo file in AI, it gets slower and slower. Finally even a small movement of the item takes some minutes... What is it???

What OS & AI version. What is the file size.

There was an issue like this with older versions of Illustrator, but newer versions strip out the code that grows exponentially. You may also be on windows and some viruses attach themesleves to your processing while ai is working. Please supply more info as there are many reasons and we can narrow down.

Hi there, 

I am sorry to hear about your experience. In addition to the question asked by @Mike_Gondek, I would request you to share some more information like: 

• Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? Upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link. 

• Where are you saving the files (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System /External HDD)? 
• When did this start happening? Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates or web extensions installed recently. 
• Does resetting Illustrator Preferences (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html) help to resolve the issue?  

Along with the suggestions shared above by @Mike_Gondek, would you mind trying the steps in this article ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/resolve-slow-performance-and-unexpected-behaviors-in-illu... ) and share your observations with us. I hope this helps. 
 
I am looking forward to your response. 
 
Thanks & Regards,
