I found some time to test this over the weekend and I could not find any
issues.  Go ahead an merge this patch so it can be tested more
thoroughly before the stable release.  I think users are pushing KiCad
harder than ever so large board speed is going to continue to be an
issue.  Thank you everyone for the testing and feedback.

Cheers,

Wayne
