Inscape () Mac OS
If you downloaded the latest version of Inkscape >= 1.0, maybe you have experienced heavy lags while using it.
I have a somewhat beefy Mac with an 4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 32 Gb of RAM. And even there it lags. I haven't tried it on my Mac Book but I can only guess that it will lag considerably hard.
Ink/Stitch dialogs are in the lanugage of your OS (if that language is supported). Your language is not available? Help us to translate the dialogs into your native language. Go to Edit Preferences System (Inkscape 0.9) or Inkscape Preferences System (Inkscape 1.0) and check where your User Extensions folder is.

How to detect
Just draw a circle, rectangle whatever try to move it it will lag. First I thought it must be that my machine is running at a limit, but no. Using htop it shows only 10% CPU usage overall. But in Inkscape when drawing or moving rectangles it caps at 100% single core usage.
How I fixed it
- Open up your Display Setting
- Go to the Tab 'Color'
- Change your current profile to sRGB.
I had those problems in Mac OS X Mojave with the latest Inkscape Version downloaded from their website: 1.0.1 (c497b03c, 2020-09-10)
Inkscape Mac Os X
The Problem exists since version 1.0. Maybe they fixed it already :) But they can fix it faster if you support Inkscape:
