I haven't used CD or AI for as many years as yourself, but I do have to use it at times, to be honest I find that comment somewhat at odds with my own and many others experiences. Interesting that you find Xtreme 'lagging' in areas it is known for it's speed and ease

Any object placed on the guides layer becomes a guide object. These can be any object type including lines at any angle, irregular shapes, and quickshapes. You can create, scale, and delete objects on the guides layer as usual, but they always appear as thin dotted red outlines; any applied line width or fill color is ignored. This information is retained, and if you later move the object from the guides layer to a normal layer, line thickness, and colors are shown again.
