[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did the profiling Adam mentioned and found that dotted/dashed lines didn’t work well in pcbnew and footprint editor.
This was fixed in rev6278.

How complex is the project?
Compared to some of the demo projects?

Does he have Xcode on his machine?
I could provide some hints on how to make a profiling trace of his slow use-cases… I think it can be saved and probably I could analyse a bit.


Regards,
Bernhard
