Performance problems with a bigger schema

[Martynas]

I've opened up a sample "database.emf" schema, and after I multiplied it for x32 time, performance went down beyond acceptable. Take a look :)

Please add information about your OS/platform and Inkscape version.

Did you consider working with clones instead of duplicating the imported EMF file (original file size ~20 MB) 32 times?

[Martynas (dauciunas)]

you mean copying a portion of the "schema" into a new file and working with a portion of it there ?

What I was trying to ask is whether it is normal that slows down at this size of schema ?

Win 7 x64, Inkspace 0.48.1

Could you attach the original EMF file as well as a copy of it saved as 'Inkscape SVG'?

EMF import (and export) is only supported in the Windows port of Inkscape - the SVG version of the original EMF file would allow to test and compare on other platforms.

Confirmed on Win Vista 64 bit with trunk rev 10313.
It takes two minutes and 47 seconds to File>Import it on my PC with with intel Q6600 CPU. This is way to high, regardless whether the image consists of clones or duplicates. Result is a memory consumption of 772 MB ram.

File > Save or File > Save as, is strangely a no go for me, saving the image as a copy, does. See zipped svg in attach.
