You can't get rid of it. It's a utility library required to run the application.

Removing it from the tax manager releases a lot of my RAM.

Turning OFF "Background Saving", doesnt fix the "issue". Robin is still in the woods 😞

What also weird, when i turn off background saving, i dont see any saving dialog. Which is also an issue

PS before turning it OFF, i saw it was about 350Gb RAM, now with "Background Saving" OFF, its 550Gb RAM

Hi @schroef,

I understand that AIRobin can be a bit overwhelming, especially with its impact on system resources. In the earlier years, Illustrator’s model wasn’t enabled for multi-thread access, so we were limited in what could be handled in the background. To overcome this, we created AIRobin, which helps by moving some tasks out of Illustrator, allowing for smoother performance while the app is running.

AIRobin operates as a full Illustrator process running in the background, enabling other functions and plugins to automate tasks on your machine. These processes are in place to help Illustrator work more efficiently, but I understand how frustrating it can be when it uses a lot of RAM. The goal is to improve Illustrator’s performance by offloading some tasks, but it requires a certain amount of resources.

I hope this clarifies!

Best,

Anshul Saini
