I wonder if theres a bug. It literally takes 5 minutes to run a DXF plot
of the "pic programmer" demo kicad has. Gebers are instant.

The long processing time could be due of that huge polygon merging
operation. However that's not the problem; and for a plot that could be even
acceptable. It's the final result that's not suitable for mechanical work.
In my opinion, DXF plot should have some checkbox option „milling contour” for
present behavior which unchecked orders for past one. Sometimes treatment tracks
as tiny lines also gives some useful information in precise orientation
mechanical work.
