Alexandre - on this list many simply peoples (I mean not programmers or tech addicted guys) just come to ask questions or talk about problems they got using GIMP - they need simply answers. Generally they just observe and ask, they don't bring accusations. they just need a plain simple answer to

One thing I noticed is that actually loading the images is very expensive, and gimp doesn't behave very well while it's happening. It took several minutes to load the large image, and while it was doing it, X was mostly unresponsive. Is there room for improvement here? Same effect under

Aaron, The problem anyway is with the right GIMP version - not strict related to the computer power I have 2 computers first - 32bit architecture, Intel Quad core with 4 Gb RAM + 1Gb RAM ATI RADEON HD second - 64bit architecture with 8 processing cores with 8 Gb RAM + 1Gb RAM Nvidia video card

It's definitely on the low end, but I'm positive that gimp can do better! Of all the graphics programs I've tried on this computer, gimp 2.8 performs the worst. Even krita is a little better, which I thought was surprising. It's able to at least load my largest image (8960x9088, 7 MB) after

Von: Guiu Rocafort neandertalspeo...@gmail.com I'm actually very novice yet and my knowledge on GIMP internals is pretty limited. So, those more expert developers: What do you think ? Would it be difficult to compile GIMP with gprof ? Would it be really useful for improving GIMP
