Hi Brian, yes like Peer says it depends on the particular area.
Curve drawing uses a combination of both CPU and GPU, curves are projected from 3D to 2D and broken down into lines using the CPU and then sent to the GPU to be drawn.
I guess if I had to pick only one between updating CPU vs GPU I'd say go for GPU because they are on a sort of faster track of improvements than CPUs in general.
But you can get benefits from upgrading either.
Also newer CPUs often times have new sockets so you could need to upgrade the whole motherboard not just the CPU by itself, which can be a lot more work than a GPU upgrade.
