Possible by using as many cores as possible. By default, Inkscape tries to be as fast as The number of processor cores used for rendering can be adjusted inĮdit ➞ Preferences ➞ Rendering ➞ Number of Threads. If your computer's processor has more than one core (which it most likely does), this can result in aĢ–4× speedup while zooming / panning / transforming objects.
