I'm working in a relatively simple Ai file, and it lags unbelievably bad when I'm simply trying to move a simple text layer around
There's no special effects applied to the text, it's simply grouped together and isolated so that I'm adjusting only the individual text layers on a map. That Ai file is a measly 2.1 mb, so what's the deal?
It's all vector format, not using pixel view, CMYK document, no affect on whether smart guides are on or off. It seams like it's reloading the entire document every time I retype or move ANY object.
Specs:
Late 15 Retina 5K iMac, 4Ghz Intel Core i7, 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB
macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
Illustrator CC 22.0.1

I've found an easy solution to this problem.
To solve it (on Windows) just do the following:
That's it.
Well this is it, CPU went down to 20% after reopening Illustrator! But I suggest you guys should change the file to "old" instead of deleting it, just in case something broke, you know.
Like CoreSync.exe.old, CCXProcess.exe.old...

Hello @Arslan89,
Would you mind confirming the exact version of the OS and Illustrator 2025 installed, if GPU acceleration is enabled under Illustrator preferences, if Illustrator behaves this way when using a tool/feature or a specific file and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can better assist you?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
