Bug Description
When using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+D) to duplicate an object, it is usually lightning fast. When duplicating a path with a colored marker on one end (an arrow for instance), the duplication takes about 1 second. I use this 100s of times per day so the time really adds up. I assume it's from the new feature in 0.91 where it automatically colors the marker to match the stroke color. I hope this can be sped up in the future. It is obviously faster than using "extensions->modify path->color marker to match stroke" that we had to use in the past but since I'm just duplicating the object, the color matching code doesn't really need to be run again. It already matches. It was plenty fast in 0.48.4.
Windows 7 64 bit, inkscape 0.91 (latest stable release as of this posting)

Please attach a test case (Inkscape SVG file), and your current Inkscape preferences file to allow further investigation on other systems [1].
Likely the underlying issue is the same as the performance regression already tracked in: /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/1506026
