I started a few days ago using EasyEDA desktop client x64 on windows 10 and designed a board with ~350 components (16x 20 components using PCB modules + some others).
At first the software was running smooth but as I started adding more components it became extremely unresponsive.
The board I have is approximately 80x300mm and has 16x20 components (charging circuit, resistors, inductors) plus 20-30 extra components for power, control, etc.
Now that I finished routing the layout design the program would take seconds to show me a menu or react on any keypress.
A DRC check execution takes 15-20 minutes.
Occasionally the software is unresponsive for 10-20 seconds and eats up CPU, system load is 25-30%.
The system is windows 10 running on a i7-8565U 16Gb RAM notebook.
Is the system requirements too high for this tool and my notebook is too slow or just the amount of components are too high?
Is there anything one could do to speed up the program?
