There are some cases when it takes really long to render the screen area (e.g a wire frame with many lines and viewing the whole page)..
Is there any way to abort inkscape?
Long operations need to show some indication that progress is being made so you dont think it has crashed and want to abort . It may be necessary to pop a dialog displaying a progress bar and a cancel button in some cases.
You have certainly identified a real problem, I'm just not so sure about your proposed solution and there may be a variety of different ways the speed problems you are experiencing can be fixed or otherwise compensated for.
