Thanks, this means the main problem is not the dashed line or the number=20
of lines drawn by that mechanism.

Yup, that's the next we are going to test. I deliberately omitted them so=

we could get a clean measure of the subc dashed line bbox performance=20
without text render interfering.

Thanks, that also suggests it's the text rendering that makes it slow. To=
=20
get a clean measurement, please use the following test file:

http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/refdes.lht.gz

Please turn off the padstack "layer" in the layer selector so we don't=20
render them, then do the usual fps test (big window, zoom to extent,=20
benchmark) with two different setup:

1. subcircuits "layer"  off, but top silk on - this way we measure how=20
much does it cost to render all the refdes text objects on silk

2. subcircuits "layer" on, but top silk off - this way we render about the=
=20
same thing, just by a different part of the code

I crafted this file to have the dash freq set to -1 so we don't measure=20
the dashed line rendering in (would be noise on the results).

If these results will show what I expect, I know where to poke the code.

Meanwhile I did some more testing with sw render and Ade did some more=20
testing with opengl render. We both identified parts of the rendering code=
=20
that could be optimized. We'll release pcb-rnd 2.0.0 in about 3 weeks, so=
=20
we don't start messing with the rendering now, but after the release we=20
will speed some parts up a bit.

Thanks for testing!

Best regards,

Igor2
