The less text/lines you have to render, the more performant it will be.Python "/Applications/KiCad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/plugins/bom_html_grouped_by_value.py" ".xml" ""įile "/Applications/KiCad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/plugins/bom_html_grouped_by_value.py", line 45, in Eeschema on my machine seems to be rendering lines smaller than 2.0mils as some larger value. Open up Kicad > Preferences > Eeschema > Display Options and set "Bus Thickness" to something like 3.0 or 4.0 mils, "Line Thickness" to 2.0 mils. From here, tick the "Show low resolution modes" box and you should get some low dpi resolutions to work with so you don't feel super cramped while you work. This will present a list of available resolutions for your monitor. As an alternative to this, you can set higher resolution, low dpi modes by doing to your System Prefences > Displays and then Option+Click on the Scaled option. Set display scaling to "Larger Text", effectively reducing the resolution of your 5k display, at least while you're running eeschema. The things that have made the biggest difference in making it somewhat usable are:

Using Kicad 5.0 (stable) and 6.0 (nightly) on a 5K iMac from 2014.Įeschema is still really sluggish and running in Instruments seems to point at text/line rendering as a significant portion of the problem.
