Re: [Inkscape-user] Slow performance on 4.5 MB file [SOLVED]

Donn,

Thank you for responding.

I have long moaned that "Nodes mean slow" :( I have a fast machine and 2gigs of RAM. It makes no difference. I think it's all the looping through those long lists of nodes....

You are doomed. Unless you can simplify or chop-up your comic page into frames and assemble them later in Gimp.

Okay. While it's a little disappointing that there isn't a way to optimize the file for better performance, it's good to know that at least I'm not doing something wrong.

I'll export the paths into a PNG and handle the colouring in Photoshop or GIMP. It means committing to rasterizing the images sooner in my process than I had hoped, but hey, life is full of compromises.
