Hi,
We're using the rc3, which has been compiled ourselves.
We are working on a complex design and have recently added a number of power planes and ground pours. Since adding these pours, the time required for pcbnew to load the design and become interactive has has gone up drastically.
Prior to adding these pours it took approximately 3min for pcbnew to load the design and become responsive. The addition of these pours has resulted in pcbnew taking over 20min to load the design and become responsive.
We have also noticed a responsiveness difference when viewing the design with filled zones showing, or with "Do not show filled areas in zones". Generally speaking, the program is more responsive when the filled area is hidden.
We've tried running the program with the legacy, accellerated, and fallback modes, but it's not clear that there is a substantial difference in the time until it becomes responsive.
As it stands, the loading time makes it really difficult for meaningful work to be completed by different people (because there's a fixed 15min penalty whenever we have to hand off the work).

Hi,
We're using the rc3, which has been compiled from source, using archlinux.
We are working on a complex design and have recently added a number of power planes and ground pours. Since adding these pours, the time required for PCBnew to load the design and become interactive has has gone up drastically.
Prior to adding these pours it took approximately 3min for PCBnew to load the design and become responsive. The addition of these pours has resulted in PCBnew taking over 20min to load the design and become responsive.
We have also noticed a responsiveness difference when viewing the design with filled zones showing, or with "Do not show filled areas in zones". Generally speaking, the program is more responsive when the filled area is hidden.
We've tried running the program with the legacy, accelerated, and fallback modes, but it's not clear that there is a substantial difference in the time until it becomes responsive.
As it stands, the loading time make it incredibly difficult for meaningful work to be completed by different people (because there's a fixed penalty whenever we have to hand off the work).
