That's curious, as 0.94 in particular uses a cache to speed up rendering. On my machine, which is crappier than yours, the samples/render-test.dia diagram at non-100% zoom is not fast, but not that bad either. It's the text rendering that's a real b*tch to get fast. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
