Comment 4 for bug 1825248

Dear Jeff,

Just to be clear, this bug report was filed because it does represent a performance degradation from the original release.

Using the 5.1 release, we were at least able to load up all the copper layers at once, along with the paste, silk, and solder layers. Those represent the most critical layers for us, so we did a review of those, and then we did a separate review of the top/bottom copper, along with all the mechanical/user/fab layers.

With the current nightly, it's no longer possible to do that.

Given the complexity and cost of our design, gerber review is mandatory prior to sending the design to fab. Within this context, this issue really does slow us down, because it prevents us from having a coherent design review (even if it's just the copper layers + silk + solder + paste).

Not sure if that plays a factor with respect to the importance of getting it fixed.
