What most limits performance in CC3+?

Stupid question: what about a Pc most directly affects whether a very complex file will load and or display effects successfully without hanging?
I know CC3+ is 32 bit so it’s not memory size. Is it cpu speed? Cores? Ram speed?

It's mainly CPU-bound, but the speed of your drive (for loading artwork) and speed of your RAM will influence things. And while things like effects do take advantage of multiple cores, I also find it helpful to have a CPU with a high single-core performance. It's better with a handfull of cores and high performance per core, than a huge heap of cores with lower performance per core.
thank you! That was kind of my guess but glad to have confirmation.
My previous computer had a 1.8 ghz cpu. My newest one has a 3.6 ghz cpu. Files load faster. Both have the same 8 gigabytes of ram.
File loading has more to do with drive speed and bus speed. Of course, once it's loaded, CC has to render it, and CPU speed has a lot to do with that.
