I find that saving files is very slow....

I recently moved up from a 2013 MBPro to a brand new 2019 16" MBPro, both have SSD drives.

I feel like the new computer is very slow when saving files out of applications like Illustrator, much slower than before.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this might be? I would think that an SSD that is twice as large with half the years of crud built up would be much faster than what I'm seeing.

I did download and run Blackmagic and I seem to be getting consistent read/write speeds in the 2500-2800 MB/s range.

Any help is much appreciated.
