Comment 5 for bug 1458616

Filters performances of files created with 0.48.5 and used with 0.91 don't seem to degrade significantly (tested with the attached test file and some other more complex filters). The only regression affecting filters performances is that 0.91 ignores filters quality settings, and always use the best quality, leading to slower rendering. See Bug #1512729 Filter effects and blur quality options broken <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1512729>.

Apart from it, there's no reason Inkscape would increase the filter effect region. One possibility would be that you accidentally applied another filter on the existing one.

Should we close the report (the performance issue is not due to the Inkscape version, but to the filter effect region)? Or rename it so that it deals with the FER issue (but in that case, we're a bit stuck unless we have an original version -the one created with 0.48- of the file).
