Inkscape

High lag on using calligraphy or pen in 0.91 release

Asked by Sadid

I've found these bugs below, but I'm not sure if this is the same thing or not

I use:
Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Feb 9 2015)
Archlinux
ATI Radeon 5xxx but with open source driver (no catalyst)
Interl Core i5
8Gig RAM
Also on windows 7 64bit version with ATI driver installed
either with mosue or wacom tablet

after updating to 0.91 release (and also update it again to this latest version 2 days ago), I'm dealing with the same problem: there is a huge lag and very high cpu usage when I use calligraphy or penceil to draw sth. I've tried manything but the performance is still very bad. I didn't have such problem with 0.48 version (nighter on linux nor windows 7).

The reports you linked to are _only_ related to and tracking issues with cairo >= 1.12 on Windows.

Issues on any linux distro need to be tracked separately.

I had this issue on both windows and linux. Just one update is about the size of the file. With 0.48 it's was OK to work with a 4mb svg file but with 0.91 version, the performance is dramatically degrades. This is persistent in both windows and linux.

The reports you linked to are _not_ related to any specific files - they
track a performance regression which occurs independent of the current
drawing content (size, complexity, etc.).

If you experience a performance regression with one specific tool in one
specific file (or with files of a certain complexity) in Inkscape 0.91
independent of the OS/platform used, this should be tracked separately.

Please search the bug tracker for other reports which could be related,
and if there wasn't one filed yet, file a new one, attach the affect SVG
file there to allow further investigation on other systems, and provide
'steps to reproduce' along with the basic information about
OS/platforms, input devices and Inkscape versions which had been tested.
