I don't know from where it stems. I remember that we spend some time solving
speed problems, but it was in the context of drawings with lots of stuff 
inside,
not something that started to be slow from the very beginning.

Those are the usual console messages you get when you click
somewhere on a void part of the drawing. Or is it that you
are obtaining those by doing something else (i.e., moving
the mouse) ? That would be an undiscovered bug, then.

And also : do you encounter the same kind of slowness
problems with other parts of TeXmacs (i.e., big equations) ?

So I don't know : either it is because you use an experimental
version of Debian, or either it is a problem with TeXmacs.

Are there other people that experience the same kind of
slowness problems with the drawings in TeXmacs ?

OK, so this is a recent one...
