It has now gotten to a point where GIMP uses so many system resources all at one time where it locks up my (USB 2.0) keyboard for all apps and won't let me use the keyboard at all until GIMP is done doing what it is doing. I have even switched to the LowLatency Linux Kernel to help speed up my PC and keep only needed background tasks while using minimal RAM. See below for a HardInfo chart I pasted stating my Operating System information: -Version- Kernel : Linux 3.16.0-29-lowlatency (x86_64) Compiled : #39-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 15 22:55:59 UTC 2014 C Library : Unknown Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 4.9.1 (Ubuntu 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) Distribution : Ubuntu 14.10 -Current Session- Computer Name : SDB User Name : jeb (Jeb Eldridge) Home Directory : /home/jeb Desktop Environment : Unity (ubuntu) -Misc- Uptime : 1 day, 16 hours and 52 minutes Load Average : 0.29, 0.44, 0.76 Attached is also a screenshot with "About This Computer" info shown.

System monitor status during a simple touch-up using "Heal" in GIMP. This is the exact same file I was editing from yesterday with the same apps open at the same time, ceteris paribus. I could not perform a screenshot while GIMP was incoherent in the background, forcing me to grab my phone to snap this picture. As you can see, CPU usage goes through the roof in all four cores and fluctuates quickly between using 100% of per-core power to much less, almost like each core is taking a break or trying to push power elsewhere. RAM usage actually appeared to be pretty stable though, so maybe this was not a RAM issue too much at all? The picture was too large to attach...
