Jerry,

Thanks for testing this out for me.

Which application? EESchema, PCBNew or all of them?

This one is odd.  On Windows and Linux the sheet frame line width looks fine.

I'll take a look a these issues when I get a chance to see if I figure out what

It should be faster due the the number of intermediate function calls that have
been eliminated.  Hopefully, the drawing code is cleaned up enough that when we
finally get around to implementing the GAL code it will be a much more
manageable task.
