Hello everyone,

I noticed a non negligible difference in responsiveness between Inkscape 0.45 and current devel version on a "complex" (4000 objects) drawing... in the wrong way unfortunately (current devel is slower than 0.45). Since disabling snapping altogether in devel remedies to the slowness I think it involves snapping. I tried to test both version with the same parameters and selected these options (and only these): 0.45 snap nodes to objects snap to objects paths snap sensitivity 10 devel snap nodes snap to paths snap sensitivity 10 And the devel version is still slower than the released version. In fact it will hang for a little while (like 1-2 sec with 100% CPU usage) before first moving the objects, subsequent movements being a little bit faster (but still slower than 0.45).

Here is the file on which I remarked it, for you to test: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/inkscape/slowSnapper.svg try selecting the text objects at the bottom and moving them for example.

Since I know the snapping code is begin worked on now, I thought I would report this. Thanks in advance for any improvements. Cheers,
