Versions: 8.1.2 GP - 8.1.4 GP, 8.0.5 beta 8
Phone: Xiaomi Redmi 4x, MIUI Global 11.0.2
Maps: OpenAndroMaps + Elevate, Tiramisu, Mapsforge standard theme

The map rendering without Oruxmaps hill shadows (global settings - maps - apply hill shadows deselected) is very fast, with hill shadows it is awfully slow. In 8.0.5 beta it worked flawlessly.
Using the Mapsforge standard theme rendering works fast with "global settings - maps - mapsforge settings - apply hill shadows" activated.

Work around:
1. Insert the tag <hillshading /> e.g. at the end of the style's XML file.
2. Deactivate "global settings - maps - apply hill shadows".
3. Activate "global settings - maps - mapsforge settings - apply hill shadows".
4. Apply the selected style. (Maybe you have to restart Oruxmaps or change the map once.)

Pros:
+ map rendering is very fast

Cons:
- Oruxmaps' hill shadows look much better
- loading a map or changing a style takes quite long with Mapsforge hill shadows


All in all I hope Oruxmaps' hill shadows will work as fast as they used to in future versions.
