• Bug#1105856: freecad: FreeCAD much slower on Debian native than Flatpak

    From Jelle Haandrikman@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 16 11:10:01 2025
    Package: freecad
    Version: 1.0.0+dfsg-6
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    Currently I'm modelling a fairly complex model in FreeCAD. I see significant slowdown with the Debian package versus the Flatpak edition.

    Observed:
    Editing this file with the Debian native package. The Debian version is around 5 times slower when navigating and updating a moved dimension in a sketch takes around a second.

    Expected:
    Both editions of FreeCAD having the same speed.
