It is LC2.2.0rc2, on Windows 10:

... writing to a SAMBA share on a Linux server.

For what it's worth, I timed saving a file (22 MB) at 155 -225 KB / min.  So, if I do the math right, that's about 2 hours to write this file to a share.  I gave up after 5 minutes.  From Linux, it is seconds.

I'm going to set up a share on a Windows 10 PC and see the problem exists writing to a Windows share.  I'll post the results later...

Some more data:

Writing the same small dxf file using the same network and the same PC to the same network drive:

... using LibreCAD under Windows 10 is very *SLOW* (10's of seconds).
... using LibreCAD under Linux Mint  is fine (under 1s).
... using QCad under Windows 10 is fine (under 1s).

Based on this data, it seems to be a reasonable conclusion that the I/O implementation within LibreCAD under Windows 10 is the cause.
