In V15 you can buffer text on both the layout and the map.  We were using this feature on the layout as a simple way of posting labels, and tidying them up.

Hello, I found this discussion while looking for solution to a problem that I'm also seeing with performance. Like Miquel, I can open a connection to my local sqlserver express (2014 64bit) database with QGIS, and open a table in a few seconds. I can also open the same table in Mapinfo in as fast ...
