[Qgis-user] Redraw time

[Wolstan H M Dixie]

Hi all,

I am a new user so please be understanding! I am shocked by the redraw 
time of a map view. When, for instance, I just pan the map a little, it 
takes 10 seconds to redraw [British OS Mastermap vector data, 64 bit 
desktop Windows 7]. My previous GIS was so fast it was essentially 
instantaneous, and was like dragging a paper map. Is this normal or are 
there tweaks I haven't appreciated?
