I really like Inkscape but my main problem it is very laggy in macOS. There is noticeable delay after every click. I tested Inkscape in 10 year old laptop with modest hardware (lubuntu) and it's much more snappy although hardware differences are pretty big. Is there any settings or something else I could try to make Inkscape in MacOS more usable?
Cheers! it now works without the hack of running it as a low-resolution app! It runs even on the MacOS 11, with a noticeable improvement in the look & performance. Many thanks for the hard & enthusiastic work by the volunteers & community 🤗 🤩 🙌
