[Qgis-user] what setting effect topological editing performance?

Adam,

Thanks for your suggestions. I added the layer to the slow project and it's
still slow. The project, and the layers in it, are generally responsive and
there's no especially complex styling. The issue is only when editing,
specifically editing nodes, with topological editing enabled, on PostGIS
layers (not memory layers or shapefiles).

 I also tried with a new, clean profile and it's still slow.

The PostGIS server is running on an AWS EC2 instance via an ssh tunnel. I'm
traveling and I went from a fairly fast internet to a slower one and the
slow project went from slow to very slow. So I guess that's a clue.

It's not a big deal, obviously I can recreate the project. I was mainly
curious since I have not run into this in other projects and I thought that
maybe I was overlooking something.

Rich
