Comment 41 for bug 1481479

Just wanted to add that I have the same issue here, and to emphasize the importance of this bug.

In fact, I recently (~3/17) had an issue where I installed Inkscape on a new computer, and it was so slow that I was unable to edit larger files that I had created in previous versions of Inkscape.

I actually had no idea what was going on until I found this very helpful thread -- I reverted to 0.48, and it was like magic!

For very large files (e.g. those used to generate posters for conferences, which can have file sizes in the 100's of MB) this really makes the difference between a great program (0.48) and a completely non-functional (0.91) one.

I've tried turning off filters, layer, rulers, etc, and none of these work.
