Relax.
You probably hit a bug somewhere. Read
this wiki page, then create a new issue on the tracker.

I'm not disagreeing with you. It is slow. Just a few minutes ago I
posted an analysis of the loading speed and how it has improved in the 0.2.0 version of Sigil.
The editing speed is directly linked to the size of the document loaded in the Book View. So that will be faster in 0.2.0 too.

Should not have, but then again, I'd have to see the file.

It's an entirely different application with entirely different behavior.

The version number should tell you a lot: it's currently on 0.1.9. It's not even alpha software, meaning there's a
long way to go.
It's written by an overstressed and overworked grad student who doesn't get nowhere near the amount of sleep he should.
I'm always open for suggestions, and even more for well-written patches.

Because a preferences screen has yet to be created. Again, it's 0.1.9. Bear with me.
