I have 512MB RAM.. If I open my drawing it takes 210 MB of memory. 100MB is still free. I agree with you about optimilization but don't have time to join the development though. Thanks for very promising project.

In Corel Draw on WinXP I have the same amount of objects and it's fine but inkscape's slows down rapidly. I have processor Sempron 2800+ and NVidia FX5200 graphic card running on Knoppix.
The most important thing here may be how much RAM do you have in your computer.
Is there any way how to make it inkscape working faster? Some kind of acceleration, something like directx for linux? Maybe recompiling the kernel properly? I didn't have time for this yet though.
You can't do much else than adding more RAM, most likely the slowness is because Inkscape is not a mature project (the version number is 0.43) and the code could use a lot of optimization (and here you can help by joining the project and working to improve it).
