[scribus] Progressively slow loading in Scribus 1.3.3.14

[Robin Dean (Google)]

Hi

I am sorry to come this way but I have mislaid my user name and my log 
on details.

I have been using Scribus to produce an A5 64 (sometime 60 sometimes 68) 
page magazine once a month for the last couple of years. About half the 
pages are adverts in PNG format and the other half are individual pages 
of text with a few photographs. I now produce an PDF X3 format file 
which I send to the printer.

I remove adverts when they do not renew, add new ones and the text is 
changed or deleted every month by going to the page and either editing 
it or clearing the contents and copying electronically from an original 
say press release. Sometimes I produce the editorial text in Word (so 
that I can spell check it) and then copy and paste in giving it my 
standard format. Some of the pages are of standard format each month 
with only changes of text.

I have noticed that it seems very slow to load - it seems slower than 
when I started a couple of years ago.

Should I be clearing down a buffer or equivalent - how do I make a fresh 
start without having to re-construct each page?

Any guidance would be gratefully received.

Kind regards


Robin Dean
