Most likely because each data point is clipped with a page-sized clip-path. Which tool created the PDF?

Snapping to intersections of paths is the snapping option which by nature will be slow and result in "poor" performance because it requires lots of calculations to determine possible snap candidates (AFAIU. Maybe Diederik will explain…) Why don't you simply snap to cusp nodes and connect the end nodes of the two tick marks? (work fine for me with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (i386), without inkscape hanging with 100% CPU usage.
