If you have an example which you are able to send me, I'm collecting
test-cases for slow PCB behaviour. I can't promise that I'll be able to
fix it, but I can at least see if I can reproduce the issue, with /
without the no-holes polygon cache. I'd also run it though the OpenGL
HID I've been working on, to see how that compares.
