Re: gEDA-user: PCB painting has slowed down
I'm curious what pcb could possibly have more parts than a regular
motherboard?

OK. That would be the planes. I don't too much there yet, but the
ones
that are there overlap each other.

What is that? I don't know.

Yep. Is lesstif any different, speed-wise? Oh, I am using KDE 3.5
desktop - if that has any bearing.

Back around Christmas you sent me some fixes for the large number of
rats that I had (around 7000, I think). PCB bombed with all the rats.
Your patch fixed it up.
Also, my drawing space is large - around 40" X 50". That was just
required to get all the parts to disperse in some reasonable fashion.
Eventually, I hope to shrink this monster considerably. Any chance
the
size of the board has anything to do with it?
