Illustrator is slow/lagging

I am having a performance/lag issues with illustrator CC 2014 and I can't work out why. I use Illustrator on my machine at work and a machine at home. My machine at home is the problem. When I use illustrator on my home computer it lags ever so slightly.For example when I pan around an image it tends to be jumpy instead of smooth. If I draw a simple rectangle there is a slight delay when I pull out the box. Editing paths can be jumpy and slow which of course affects my work.
Illustrator works very smooth /fast on my work computer with no other problems. They are very similar machines so this is why it bothers me.
my specs for the problem machine:
Processor: 6 core I7 3.4ghz
RAM: 16GB
Hard drive: SSD 480gb (though I only have 100Gb left)
Graphics card: GTX 760
My work machine is of similar spec but with a better graphics card and an over clocked processor and far more hard drive space. I have the up to date illustrator 2014 and the problem was in previous version too (before latest update). I am working on images for an animation project so they are quite large. The art board is 1920x1080 but it does not fill the RAM. It uses roughly 3GB. I dont have any plugins or anything like that either. I have read in other feeds that this can be a problem.
Could it be my lack of hard drive space? I also share my files over creative cloud, could this be causing any problems? Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone know what my problem might be?

I, too, have this problem. Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, fully maxed out with a 1TB SSD, 16GB of RAM and 2.6Ghz i7.
Panning the artboard with the hand tool, zooming in/out, and path editing are all unacceptably slow. I am using Illustrator CC 2014 with the most recent updates. My SSD is only 50% full.
All these apps scream "feature bloat" to me. I've been using Illustrator for almost 15 years now, and dearly love it, but it's performance continues to decline as the cram more and more stuff into it. Same with InDesign.
Anyway, as soon as Yosemite drops (hopefully today), I'm doing a fully clean install of Mac OS and fresh installs of ALL my software. I'll report back if that makes a difference.

Is illustrator running slow because of large file size?

Is my illustrator running slow? I have an i7 3770K, 16gb ram, gtx 660i 2g, h100i, ax1200i and maximus formula v. I'm running dual 24" 1920x1080 monitors. File size is 800x600 pixals with 5 layers and 100+ paths in each layer. Is the program running slow because the file is too big or is there a problem with illustrator?

If you have a internal HD available, you can select it as a scratch disk...
the above dialog is from CS3, but you have something similar in your Preferences file.
If you are running out of disk space, then there's not enough scratch to perform certain ops efficiently and it could slow things down considerably. Just a thought.

Why performance of Illustrator CS6 slower than Illustrator CS5.5?

Ex: Process get text of TextFrame has 657 characters:
Dim t1 As String
Dim t2 As String
t1 = DateTime.Now.Minute & " " & DateTime.Now.Second & " " & DateTime.Now.Millisecond
Dim text As String
For iChar = 1 To iCharNum
      oChar = oContents.Characters(iChar)
      Dim str As String
      str = oChar.contents.ToString
      text = text & str
Next
t2 = DateTime.Now.Minute & " " & DateTime.Now.Second & " " & DateTime.Now.Millisecond
Result:
Time of CS5.5: 0s 487
                         t1= 38 43 71
                         t2= 38 43 558
Time of CS6: 3s 871
                         t1=42 54 738
                         t2=42 58 609

Illustrator Running Slow on New Haswell CPU

Hi,
I Have come across a very strange issue. After Upgrading a system for a client form an Ivy Bridge to Haswell Illustrator is running considerably slower. The rig is the same as before we only changed CPU and Motherboard.
The Rig is
Windows 7 Pro x64
Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H (old board was Z77X-UD5H)
Intel i7 4770k (old cpu was a 3770K)
32GB DDR3 1600 Kingston.
Intel 530SSD
We are using the onboard Intel 4600 (before was the on board Intel 4000)
Both the Windows and Illustrator are all fresh installs and are all updated.
Does anyone have a thought?
Thanks.

Hi
I Have moved from Apple to WIndows 8.1 due to MBP 2011 GPU issues & Apple ignoring the issue.
Anyway the samsung is as follows:
NP870Z5G-X01
WIn 8.1 x64
16GB RAM 1600kingston
i7-4700HQ @ 2.4GHZ
Intel 4600 graphics / NVidia GT750M
The machine is 2 years newer than my old 17" MBP so should whizz through the tasks in illustrator but has the same problem, lagging when moving, also when zooming in and out. I noticed that the Nvidia card is not used in Illustrator just Photoshop. It really is slow though and painful to use.
I hope someone can sort it out soon.

Illustrator and Photoshop lag in i5+6gb RAM

I own Lenovo Z510 laptop with configuration - i5 4th gen, 6GB RAM, 8GB SSD(hybrid). and Nvidia GeForce 740M. Even in this configuration Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 is lagging (Even when working without textures, just plain colors). How can I optimize the settings? In Photoshop for hardware acceleration it uses onboard Intel 4000 graphics. Is that the reason? I am not getting Nvidia on drop down (switchable graphhics?).
Please help. Its painfully slow!

You definitely want Photoshop taking advantage of your video card (Nvidia) instead of your chipset (Intel). You like will have to configure you graphics settings so that the chip set is turned off to get things working correctly.

Why is Illustrator very slow and locks up when I select an image?

When selecting an image with the links panel open Illustrator locks up for a good 20 seconds... When I close the links panel everything is fine.
This is very annoying since I use the links panel all the time in my daily work routine.
Anyone else encountered this problem?

Ok a little strange, as mine is now running well after the updates from a few days ago.
Apologies if this is a false positive, but I can now have the LINKS panel open while highlighting on a linked PSD. I will run a few more tests to see if the error appears in any other ways.
I completely agree that Illustrator CC in particular does suffer from lagging across the board. I have never seen CC or CC2014 running as smoothly as say CS6.
I use Universal Type Server and the lagging caused by this (especially when backspacing text) has caused me no end of problems, but they slowly release updates and the problems slowly get ironed out.
Also I know this has been said before, but I had issues with the Verdana and Tahoma fonts and this slowed Illustrator (esp CC 2014) down also. I had the fonts installed but they were causing issues.
I searched over the web and at my work for alternative versions of these fonts and collected (what we think to be) a reliable pack of these two fonts that we can now use on machines in case they have similar lagging issues. So try getting hold of alternative copies of Verdana and Tahoma...fonts can corrupt very easily!

Photoshop CC Color Picker slow lag

Today I got a new Intuos Pro Medium and installed the latest software from Wacom (6.37-5 - I think.) I am not sure if this is related, but I am experiencing an extreme slow-down / lag when I attempt to use the color picker to change the foreground color. Basically, when I move the circle, there is a 10-15 second time period where I watch the new color value numbers slowly, one-by-one change to the new values for the newly selected color. If I move the color circle a couple times, it could be over a minute before the color picker allows me to choose OK and exit the dialogue box. I tried this on another computer that had CS6, and no problems with the new tablet. No issues with drawing/ painting very large with the new tablet.
Has anyone ever heard of/seen this? BTW, no problems a week ago.

Illustrator Is Slow to Save and Close Files

I've been experiencing slow save time in Illustrator. It doesn't matter if the file is very small or is a large .eps, there's a long pause while saving before the application becomes responsive again. There is also a long pause when closing the document, after it has been saved.
Does anyone have experience with solving this issue? I've run Illustrator on a much slower machine without this issue and it's really cutting into my production time.
I'm running Yosemite on a Macbook Pro w/Retina Display/2.5 GHz Intel Core i7/ 16GB Memory / 256 GB HD
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Margaret,
DId disk utility run clean, and did you fix preferences. To run on your startup disk I believe you hold down Command R (to enter recovery mode) after rebooting, and menu over to disk utility.
Try creating a new user, and see how Illustrator runs. If so we know it is some setting/preference that is saved with the account.
Do you have Adobe Drive
Files open, save slowly | Mac OS X
Though the mac does not have nearly as many viruses as windows, if you seen anything like MacKeeper, or what appeared to be false flash updates. Mine was running slow until I uninstalled, and felt like such a fool as there was a little icon on my top tool bar.
Good luck we will get you up to speed just may take throwing a lot a this one until we narrow down the problem area.

Illustrator is slow when connected to intranet

The problem looks like that Illustrator sees that the computer is connected to a network and proceeds to try and access adobe.com.
This slows everything down because our intranet is not connected to the internet.
Examples:
Loading Illustrator CS5:
The splash screen is fast but once within the app you must wait at least 1 minute before you can do anything.
F1 key or Help:
Illustrator CS5 attempts to connect to the online community which takes about 5 minutes then times out and brings up a local help file.
Now when the computer running Illustrator CS5 is disconnected from the intranet, everything works fine; The program and even the local help loads instantaneously.
I have tried editing the Helpcfg found here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3238181?tstart=0 but that didn't work (I need an example to see if I did things correctly).
Is there an easy way around this?
Exposing the computer to the internet is not an option nor is disconnecting the computer from the intranet.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

I am having the exact same problem as Aaron. It's nuts...
As mentioned, internet is very slow download (0.7Mbps <- Not a typo) but a normal upload (3.0Mbps) when connected to the Airport Extreme by ethernet or wirelessly, but when I connect my computer straight to the modem, it's fast (12Mbps down, 3Mbps up). After I discovered this behavior, I took it to my friend's house (he also has Comcast) and I got the exact same behavior using his computers, modem, etc. I determined that my Airport was bad and took a trip to see the "geniuses" at the Apple Store. The AEBS worked perfectly there. Just to be safe, I took the AEBS to my work and it also works perfectly there.
Needless to say, I'm baffled. I've tried resetting all of my devices multiple times to no avail. I've tested to see if I have a DNS lookup issue (http://forums.macosxhints.com/showpost.php?p=199191&postcount=7), but that's not the case.
The results I've mentioned are from speedtest.net.
Does anyone have an idea?

Illustrator is slow when i work with micro text

I have Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, and all programs works perfectly, except Illustrator, i can manage all but when some work have microtext it takes a lot of minutes thinking and processing the order, inclusive "select" takes about 2 minutes in process the order. I uninstall the software and instal again it but it doesn't matter continues as same as before.
i have 3 Mac G5 with xeon and 8Gb of RAM, and a lot of space in my hard disk,and all the updates of the mac, so i dont know what is the problem, the software is original and the macs are new, what can i do?
There is an update that fix that problem?

Hello Computerforms,
I have type set many micro fonts in many different projects. And many people in the industry have noticed that Illustrator CS4 is very slow doing simple task like microprint.

You can see the difference if try to set microprint using CS3 or older version. Your computer is more than qualify for this little task.
Please note that CS3 is extremely bad when it come to strokes (any line lower that .012 point will display the worst line you ever seen). for this type of work I will recommend to work with CS2. Yep the old version is superior to CS3 and CS4.
I hope this helps!

CS6 indesign & illustrator very slow in processing

since i installed CS6, both illustrator and indesign work extremely slow when moving objects, fonts etc.
the documents are not big, just one spread full of text and the programm takes too long to process the action.
working in CS5.5 was always fine but CS6 is just so slow that work has become difficult.
i didn't change anything in fontexplorer nor did i change anything with my RAM.
and idea what i can do to make CS6 work better and more efficient?
thanks!

VERY SLOW, LAGS & FREEZES!!

Just got the phone I like it but it is very slow! is BB coming out with a software update or something to fix this soon?

I have noticed that during data intensive tasks (Viigo update), it will slow a lil bit
Other than that, I dont see the lag. maybe you are clicking on an icon too much and opening it up twice but relly canceling it and opening it up.

MBP suddenly slow/lagging - pls somebody skilled with EtreCheck tell me what's wrong?

I love ASC for hands-on advice to try oneself however this time I am in it too deep: My sons MBP suddenly became lagging and unresponsive/very very slow... ie. the swirl-thing comes up 1-2 secs AFTER clicking the apple-icon and the menu yet another 6-10 secs. Below is a copy from EtreCheck, pls help me understand it - never used it before.. My other MBPs could be optimized as well but at least they perform ok... this one is bad. Who to blame? Me, my son or thirdparty?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
