Hi all,
I noticed with the stable build that all is fine, but up to a point. If I aggregate an number of objects (say forty of them) into a group and drag them with the mouse, there is an unbearable lag. I managed to rectify this by removing the gtk-2.8 dlls and let my regular installed gtk take over. ( the same file shows no lag at all) This happy little trick works with the stable version, but not with the nightly builds.
Now, it has been suggested that this might be a bug which has the cpu spiking. This is not the case, no cpu spikes, just a lag. I am slightly convinced it has to do with gtk/cairo /pango.
I'm compiling inkscape myself now, see where that leads me.
Not that I will be much help after that, I can compile, but I cannot code....[sigh]
