Bug Description
Inkscape eats up a lot of memory fast! Going from a 200-300MB to over a GB in a couple of seconds. This happens whatever I do with the attached file. Especially just moving the rectangle with the pattern around.
Inkscape reports all of the memory as "standard malloc()"
This is 0.46 on a just updated Ubuntu 8.10 (32-bit)
If there is any more information I can give, please just ask.
Thank you

This performance issue is due to an extreme example of a group of tiled cloned paths used as pattern.
The original path has 22'638 (!) nodes, the pattern is made of the original + 8 clones. That's 203'742 nodes in just one defined instance of the pattern.
To me it is not surprising that this slow does the rendering of any bag that has the pattern applied as texture. Maybe a reduction of detail that relates to the dimensions of drawn object would bring a better result in performance.
