Bug description:
  Hi,

  Although Inkscape is a nice program, I recognize that it's becoming slower and 
  slower each time a new version is released.

  Also I have compiled inkscape from subversion (Revision: 22608) in a Ubuntu 8.10 box.
  (Intel Core 2 duo 1.8 GHz and 2 GB of RAM) 

  In the build I have disabled the -g option in all the Makefiles, but launching inkscape 
  takes more than 10 seconds!!  And in its actions it demostrates that it has become slower.

  Is any way to improve the performance of Inkscape (for example, using a separate thread to loading the
  plugins, using a load of components by demand, using OpenGL+Shaders for drawings,...)

  I have some knowledge of optimization in C/C++ but I know next to nothing how Inkscape has been 
  programmed.

  Thanks guys for this great program.
