Bug Description
Inkscape 0.47 r22583 (Apr 4 2010) on AMD64 Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Program crashes *most* of the time when opening attached file. Will try to get a backtrace.
Crash not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel r9692 on oS X 10.5.8, but Inkscape uses a lot of memory to just open the file and render its initial view. Other applications and the system are not responding intermittently (due to swapping?), on a system with 2GB RAM.
Inkscape's performance when rendering huge paths with thousands of nodes (as for example some of the paths on layer 'Section' have [1]) is known to be slow and needing a huge amount of memory.
[1] the path with id 'path87050' for example has 19875 nodes
