I just had a look at the swatches feature -- hadn't really noticed it till now. Very cool, I like it! I've got a (fairly subjective) bug report regarding performance:

Changing the colour of a swatch is fairly slow (I click the new colour in the fill dialog and there's a noticeable lag before the object(s) update onscreen), and it becomes slower the more swatches & objects I add. Even 1 object & 1 swatch is noticeable. More than 5 of each starts getting rather annoyingly slow, making it hard to work with.

More than that, I haven't tried, but I doubt if it'll get any faster with more objects/swatches ;-)

Any chance of that being fixed up? Let me know if I should post a proper bug report.
