No crashes/freezes, thanks to 8 GBytes of RAM most likely, but I have the exact same issue and the menus take forever to load and about an entire second to render.
I also checked if it makes a difference if I'm editing a huge file or something blank. It doesn't seem that way. This also appeared with 13.10 - I'm on 64bit too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245155 Title: Menus are very slow to load Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to use menu (File - Edit - Select - etc) it takes at time over 10 sec to appear and further 3-5sec to load the drop down menus. Often when switching from another program the previous program is still there. This does not happen in other programs. This happens with one small file and with many big files open in Gimp. Gimp used to be nice and fast, even in 13.10. Not sure which update caused it to slow down, been running 13.10 beta for a while. Shortcuts work just fine, I just can't remember them all and therefore has to use the menu.
