There doesn't seem to be resolution so far. I know you are not Apple, but there has been a MAC OS update and updates to CC. If I am plunking down nine grand (in my case), I can't see keeping the computer if it's not going to really help performance.

I will have only 14 days to decide if the price is worth it given the software I use ie: Adobe applications. People are reporting terrible performance and especially in AI it seems. I am frustrated with Adobe right now because I have, (like many others), an iMAC Pro about to come to my front door. They are just me practicing inking techniques like I said.

They are not anything I would ever distribute for copyright reasons. I see all my work when I log in but I am warned to export all my work if a reinstall is the recommendation. Not using capture shapes for these drawings. I put them on a layer and reduce their opacity to about 20% Then I practice inking them on a vector layer above. These drawings are of the same type: I have some old cartoons that are pixel based. It seems to be happening more and more on almost every drawing.
