Re: gEDA-user: PCB much slower?

["harry eaton" <bumpelo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Polygons is a very good thing to check. There once was some bizarre error
that
resulted in tens of thousands of duplicate polygons showing up in the file.
Needless to say it took a really long time to render because of that.

I don't remember if I ever figured out how it could have happened or not
since
there was only ever one report of it happening before. If this is what's
happened
you can use a text editor to remove the duplicate polygons.
