This prevents Inkscape from displaying filters only.

Use View menu > Display Mode > No Filters.

This prevents Inkscape from displaying gradients, filters, embedded raster images, etc. Use View menu > Display Mode > Outline.When you're finished, don't forget to delete this bitmap copy Move the new bitmap to a visible layer and hide the ones it's replacing Temporarily hide the layers you're working on, and display all the others If hiding layers won't work, because you still need to see them, as you continue to work, try this.Since Inkscape doesn't display hidden layers, it frees up resources for whatever you're working on. Then you can hide all the layers that you don't need at the moment. Divide your file into layers, and maybe even sublayers.If this doesn't help, or help enough, move on to the next things.

Especially if you're doing a lot of trial and error as part of your workflow, this data can accumulate, and slow down a file, even if there is very little content on the canvas.

(Before version 0.91 it was File menu > Vacuum Defs.) This will delete any data in the file that is not in use. The first thing you can do when you start to notice any of these issues, is to click File menu > Clean Up Document.using the Objects dialog (Objects menu > Objects)Īnd here are some ways to either avoid these issues, or to continue working in a file, when you already have these issues.a large number of unused defs (excess and unneeded data in the file).extreme zooming, or any zooming in a file that's already large.certain extensions or number of uses of extensions.filters or combinations of filters (note that even a simple blur is a filter).embedded raster images (in smaller systems, even just 1 large image could cause a problem).These things (not in any order) can increase the file size and potentially could be causing performance issues In version 1.0, it can be found in Preferences > Input/Output > AutoSave. Most importantly, starting with version 0.47, Inkscape has an AutoSave feature. There may be other reasons for these issues, but the file size is the first thing to look at, for solving the problem. Performance issues include work slowdowns, freezing and even crashing. While there are no minimum system requirements for Inkscape, a file size which challenges the system's resources is the primary culprit for performance issues in Inkscape. Tips to Avoid Performance Issues (slowdowns, freezing, crashing)
