1) Poor performance when dragging objects:
AFAICT this is likely a known regression already tracked in
* Bug #1198317 “Dragging objects in compex document very slow in 0.48+devel”
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1198317

It is triggered by the stroked paths on layers like
- LAKES AND SEA
- RIVERS
- BORDERS
- ADMIN

If all the listed layers are hidden, the performance to drag an object on 'LANDS' in Inkscape 0.91 is as expected. The more of these listed layers are visible, the worse the performance gets when dragging an object with the mouse. Switching to the geometric bounding box mode as mentioned in bug #1198317 also improves performance, even with all layers visible.

2) Poor performance when editing/adding text:
Does not happen when all but layer 'TEXT' is deleted. Possibly related to 1) (to be investigated).
