The only other possible difference is that I have an SSD installed. However I don't think Inkscape pages memory to disk very much with 16GB of RAM handy. :) Or at least I'd hope not!

Yes, I use Unity on both computers. After installing Gnome, there's no difference, though.
Cheers, Saar.

Reinstalled Inkscape 0.91 r13725 Can't reproduce the slowdown on my laptop, even zoomed in to 25600%.
My system: i5-2520M @ 2.5GHz x 4 64-bit, 16GB RAM
Ubuntu 15.10 running Gnome 3.16.4
Inkscape trunk does feel faster by a bit, but I'm not getting any significant lag in 0.91 either.
Saar, are you using Unity by chance?
Thanks. -C

I'm attaching a design where the performance issued are less severe than the one I'm experiencing with a design I cannot share, although the complexity of the latter is not that much greater. They are both generated by the same software, so should exhibit similar 'symptoms'. Things get clunky when zoomed in and after a while of editing and zooming in and out. Hiding layers doesn't seem to make much difference. Maybe this could shed some light on the issue?
Thanks, Saar.

I decided to quickly stress test this, making a 100 point star, replicating it 50 times, converting the objects to geometry, then shrinking them
all
down to .5mm and zooming to 12800%
Result: There is some slowdown, but not nearly as much as I was expecting. This is on a 4 year old laptop running Ubuntu Linux with Gnome 3.
What does slow it down a lot more however is taking those 50 objects, and ctrl-k converting them to a single object. The slowdown is
approximately
10x slower than what it was before.
If this is what's slowing you down, my advice would be to break your large (in number of points) object up into multiple objects while editing, then recombine them when done.
ctrl-shift-k to break apart, and ctrl+k to recombine.

Just tried by removing all opacity. Doesn't make a difference.
Thanks, Saar.
