Something to do with the graphics subsystem (driver. the documents are not simple, but they are nothing exceptional (and my older Mac from around 2015 actually did manage that, but but it was not with Catalina).Īs it is a problem even when the Adobe apps are only waiting in the background while I'm in a browser or code editor, it may be connected with macOS itself, not only an in-application performance problem where Adobe would be the clear culprit. I can't see big CPU loads in the activity monitor, but it's hard to see what's going on on the GPU level.Ĭlosing the bigger apps again seems to make things a bit better after some minutes, but only a reboot cleans everything up.Ĭurrently it's so bad its inhibiting my will to do work - I'd expect that kind of computer to run some mid-level graphics design tasks smoothly. ) gets very unresponsive, like low frame rate in macOS animation, spinning wheel when selecting text, and the Adobe apps themselves too are slow on display changes. is good.ĭoing some work in acrobat, InDesign, illu, photoshop and having some more complex files open, the whole interface (including finder, typing text in the editor, animation or scrolling in browsers, opening save dialogs.

At first, I thought it was a problem from my mac but now I also have a PC and it is doing the same problem. opening some code editor, finder, browser. I do simple graphic design (flyer at the moment) on illustrator and it keeps lagging and going extremenly slow.

Using it to do graphics design (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, all CC2020 versions) and webdesign (code editors, FTP, browsers of all kinds).Īfter a fresh boot, everything is fine and responsive.

I do have an almost new iMac (27", i9, 32gb ram, 512gb SSD, middle of the GPU options, 5k display + fullhd second monitor, Catalina, all up to date).
