Hello,
My question has to do with learning ways to help Inkscape to run more
smoothly on my computer. Is there a way to manually allocate more
of my system resources to Inkscape?
Not sure if I asked that in correct terms, but in my Adobes I am able
to assign memory usage and scratch disks. I am enjoying Inkscape
tremendously and REALLY would like to use it more in my work (I am an
illustrator). But it runs very slow and take a while to refresh
the display when any changes are made or a new work window is
opened.
My main work system is: Win2k , dual PIII processors, 1GB system RAM, and an NVIDIA
GeForce FX 5200. Not the newest or fastest of machines (It's
home-built), but a very stable multitasker, and very seldom do I have
such slowdowns when working with the Adobes, I generally have projects
open in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign all at once, and move
artwork back and forth between them all day. So, I think the
problem I'm having with Inkscape may have more to do with my
settings. I've looked for more information on this subject, but
perhaps have not known what to look for. Sometimes terminology is
the biggest problem (in that I don't know any :o)
I'm always happy to work things through by myself, and am not afraid to
tackle complex tasks if someone could point the way for me, or suggest
some settings to adjust.
I also have Inkscape installed in Ubuntu on another throw-together
system, it seems to work a little smoother there, but still pretty
slow.
Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks, J
