Comment 3 for bug 388077

Inkscape worked fine on my netbook in Intrepid and Jaunty, but now in Karmic it takes ~40s to start, ~6s to resize the inkscape window, and all other interface actions like changing the color palette, showing the layers window etc also take way too long.
Doing the actual work like drawing etc. however is not slower than with Jaunty afaict
Is there any log stuff that I could provide?
My netbook has intel architecture too. The version atm is Inkscape 0.47pre4 r22446 (Oct 14 2009)
This is not Ubuntu specific since I have the same problem with Sidux
