[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10

[Patrick Dunford]

If you have enough resources running it in a VM is an option and can be 
a linux version, very stable and very resource efficient

I used to have a bg stack of VMs running all sorts of versions when I 
used to run the development version more than I do now, it was almost 
seamless
