you can try opening that to see if the problem is the DXF you're trying to load, or Inkscape is being a buggy little *****.Whether you are an illustrator, designer, web designer or just someone who needs to create some vector imagery, Inkscape is for you! I've attached a DXF of a switch plate which I know loads fine. I'd recommend using the previous stable release (0.48.5) just to see if that's related to the performance issues.
Inkscape 0.91 is definitely a bit slower and has some weird UI artifacts. Maybe it's got bloated and buggy since the old version that I use. That's not to say it never crashed, just not noticeably often. Never had issues with performance or bugs.

I've used Inkscape for years, on a (now) ten year old PC and my blitzing notebooks.

I spent one evening in March trying to figure out how to use it and I haven't gone back to it until today to see if I could open a DXF in it. Hardware, maybe? I've got 8GB of RAM, a Core i5, and a Radeon 6750 with 1GB of RAM. It's the slowest program I've ever used in my life, and buggy.

Yeah I just can't do it, I've been using Inkscape for 10 minutes and I'm going to throw this PC out the window. I simply launched Inkscape and followed Wilba's instructions for opening a DXF in Inkscape. Then I saved the file as a Drawing Exchange DXF 2007 file. Using swill's plate builder to generate the DXF, I followed his instructions to set the main drawing unit for current preferences to millimeters.
