Hi Jean-Pierre, We have decided to use net numbers, as it was convenient for us. They were already available, and Spice to eeschema maps are map<wxString, int> instead of map<wxString, wxString>.
I doubt it would really influence the performance, as anyway the majority of the simulation time is spent in the ngspice routines, not exporting the netlist. The only thing I would check is if the net names need any extra escaping, and if commands like 'print v(1)' work well with net names. I do not have any objections to change the code to use net names.
