@JazzyNico - just wondering, does hiding the ruler in Inkscape have any affect on the performance on affected computers?
(Recent Windows builds of GIMP with newer cairo version also seem to be affected by performance issues related to cairo - GIMP users noticed that hiding the ruler improves performance. AFAIK Inkscape's ruler widget is based on code from GIMP. If the ruler updates contribute to the performance issues tracked here, maybe this recent commit in GIMP could be ported and tested with Inkscape:
