As I wrote it was one 16x28cm rectangle with 0.5 point width, with dotted line (it is the first on the list).
I think it is nothing extreme (so no 0.01 fine dotted)
And yes, it is extremly slow. But now I realized, that zoom is very fast while the zoom <=100. Very very fast. But, when zoom is 101% it will be very very slow.
Either something is wrong with your system, or we're talking subjective. Can you devise a numerical measure of this "very very slow" so I could reproduce it and compare? On my system, it's quite fast. Not lightning fast, but certainly good enough to not be annoying.
I think your machine is too fast.
I experience the slowdown as well; at higher zoom levels (~2000% or so), Inkscape is effectively unusable, as moving a node in a simple path might take at least three seconds before the display updates; Inkscape is completely unresponsive (CPU pegged) in the meantime.
Editing the same document at lower zoom levels is much more responsive.
I'm completely at a loss as to what mechanism would cause this behavior. As far as I know, none of our data structures are scale-dependent, except perhaps in the display cache.
It would probably be worthwhile for me to do a profiling build and see where all this CPU time is going. I've been doing mostly art projects lately [hence my quietness], so this particular bug starting to become a severe personal annoyance.
