1) delete/rename preferences file
2) launch inkscape
3) draw three stars (use default settings, but increase number of corners to 200)
4) draw a rectangle
Test 1:
5) drag the rectangle with the mouse
-> slight delay, depending on general system performance, but noticeably delayed compared to Inkscape 0.48.2
Test 2:
6) select the three stars, and change the stroke style to 'Round Join' and 'Round Cap'
7) drag the rectangle with the mouse
-> noticeably loss of performance
