Illustrator's bad performance amazes me. I don't know about newer releases, but CC 2020 is basically single-threaded for everything. It's crazy to see it wait for 8 seconds to make a png vectorial, while using 5% CPU on a 16 core 3950x.

Bingo! That about sums up my memories of using it every since it went CC-anything. I think CS5 was the last version I used that felt pleasantly performant -- and on older machines, no less (2013 Macbook Air w/ i7, 16GB).
