Comment 24 for bug 1219794

@Spaak, We must be going to the same conference :-) I'm also attempting to prepare a scientific poster with Inkscape. Typing was ok to start with, but as I'm adding elements and the SVG is getting more complex typing is dramatically slowed down. I have tried moving content to layers, so that I'm typing into an empty layer while all other layers are hidden, but that does not help. There's a 1 sec delay from pressing a key and the character appearing. Moving text around is much faster.
