Is freeze and crash the same thing for you? (I've seen single rendering of 
diagrams take minutes, but not for the cairo backend. See 
http://hans.breuer.org/dia/dia-wine.htm for the messy details.)

Probably I need to see this to understand.

Both share most of the code (gtkprint and cairo) as well as Dia's cairo 
renderer. If you need to urgently print the diagram, you could try the old 
print implementation, which will get used if you disable the cairo plug-in 
for the next startup.
