illustrator poor performance

[Elku]

Does any one have any experience with illustrator?

I built my wife a simple rig to run it as she tech edits knitting patterns and designs but its laggy AF! for such a simple looking program and I'm sure what she is doing is pretty simple.

I put together a 2200g with a 16gb 2400 ddr4 ram. I thought it would eat this program alive. But its slow and laggy on the whole. Is there a magic option in the menu for it to stop being crap? XD

Any advice would be great.

I found it clunky too.

I feel ive had better performance and usability from Affinity Designer personally and have ditched illustrator.
