RE: Performance issue when copying large areas

["Haidinyak, Chris" <Chris Haidinyak spansion com>]

It could be that after repeated cut-and-paste operations the OS
clipboard gets clogged while running two or three versions of gnumeric
simultaneously. I do have 2GB of main memory and dual processor so I
believe that this level of operation should be smooth. I am running KDE
on fedora core 5. I will submit a bug report. 

Thanks,
  Chris

This is the first I hear of such a problem, i.e, copying causing
slowdowns.
Please open a bug report over at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

I would be very helpful if you could supply a sample file and precise
instructions that cause the problem for you.
