Julian made some changes to speed up rendering across all platforms. Also he made "Normal" (cairo) rendering be the default on windows. We found during some benchmarking that "Fast" mode which uses gdk is *much* slower on windows than "Normal" mode which uses cairo. > > Dan: What pixman + cairo versions were used with this / the last gerbv? cairo-1.6.4 I don't see a pixman. I probably should have updated to all the latest for gtk and friends but didn't this time. Maybe that it takes somewhere north of 40 downloads had something to do with it ;) For the next release I'll update again to all the latest in the dependency libraries. -Dan ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
