Hi,

to be honest, I don’t really know what this is about.

@Andrey:
You looked for a very complex (foreign) project (Chris mainboard?) to prove 
that eeschema is slow on Mac?
Well, we know that and we told you already some weeks/months ago why it is like 
it is (if memory serves me right).

Or, do you have an own project that is so ridiculously slow, that you can’t 
work with it?
If so, please provide it so that we can analyse why this specific project 
behaves like that.
If you can’t or don’t want to provide it we could tell you how to do some 
performance measurements so that we might see something.

Obviously, there are a number of Mac users here and also over at the KiCad 
forum who might also be happy to get some more performance here and there, but 
who are in general reasonably able to work on their projects (including myself, 
on a 2012 Retina MacBook with only an i5).


Regards,
Bernhard
