The performance of <\/span>Illustrator<\/b>, a vector image drawing software, largely depends on the type of hardware you use.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A faster processor, a graphics card, sufficient <\/span>RAM<\/b> memory, free <\/span>HDD<\/b> space can <\/span>boost image processing performance. There are other elements too such as application settings, app files, <\/span>GPU<\/b> configurations, <\/span>Virtual Memory<\/b> size, which undoubtedly matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a quick fix, you can clear Illustrator<\/strong>\u00a0junk by using ST Cleaner<\/strong>. Download it below:<\/p>\n

Speed Up Illustrator Easily<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

ST Cleaner is digitally signed and a safe download<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Buy Faster Processor<\/b><\/h2>\n

Buying a faster processor will accelerate the processing of vector images, data, and other related objects.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Expand Memory<\/b><\/h2>\n

Check the amount of system memory. Buy additional <\/span>Random Access Memory<\/b> (<\/span>RAM<\/b>) to ensure <\/span>Adobe Illustrator<\/b> runs efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stop Unnecessary Services<\/b><\/h2>\n

The services running in background consume higher <\/span>CPU<\/b> usage and slow down <\/span>Illustrator<\/b>. Quit unnecessary services from the Task Manager<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monitor GPU Performance<\/b><\/h2>\n

Here are the steps to constantly monitor your <\/span>Graphics Processing Unit<\/b>\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click the <\/span>Preferences <\/b>menu, choose <\/span>GPU Performance<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Select the <\/span>GPU performance<\/b> checkbox.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Delete Application Data Files<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Another solution is to check whether you’ve got corrupt application data files. Delete the appdata files as shown below:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Exit the program completely.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Double-click <\/span>This PC<\/b> desktop icon.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Open the following directory:
      \n<\/span>C:\\Users\\XXX\\Library\\Application Support\\Adobe<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n
    4. Select all file and delete them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Increase Virtual Memory<\/b><\/h2>\n

      The <\/span>Virtual Memory<\/b> extends your memory by using hard disk in addition to your <\/span>RAM<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Press <\/span>Windows Key <\/b>+ <\/span>R<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Type the following command:
        \n<\/span>%windir%\\system32\\SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe<\/b><\/b><\/li>\n
      3. Click <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Click the <\/span>Advanced <\/b>tab.<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Click<\/span> Change<\/b> under the <\/span>Virtual Memory<\/b> heading.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. Deselect the <\/span>Automatically manage paging file size for all drives<\/b> box.<\/span><\/li>\n
      7. Set a higher paging file size.<\/span><\/li>\n
      8. Click OK <\/b>| <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
