Some common culprits:

(1) a colour management bug (especially on Windows)

To see if this is affecting you, go to View->Display Filters
Select Colour Management and uncheck it, and use the left-pointing
arrow to move it out of the active filters.

(2) 3d desktops (especially on Linux)

disable compiz, or choose a theme that does not feature
transparency.  Some of these themes mean everything gets
drawn multiple times.

(3) if gimp slows down during use, try (3a) making sure the tile cache
size is at least close to the available memory you have - e.g.
on an 8 Gigabyte system I have a 7 G tile cache; (3b) in the Undo
History dock, click on the "clear undo history" button at the bottom
of the dock, and see if gimp gets faster. This slowing down will
probably be fixed in gimp 3.0.

(4) drink less coffee. Gimp may seem slow if you have too much coffee.

(5) Number of CPUs/threads mis-detected on some platforms - go to
Edit/Preferences and check that Number of Processors to Use is not
more than the number of processors you have.

Clearing the undo history helps for me.

Make sure that your tile cache size is close to the size of physical
memory - e.g. my laptop has 8G of RAM and my tile cache is set to 7G.

(The 32-bit version I think can't go much over 3G tile cache)

This is the limit for a single-threaded operation on a quad-core CPU.

In Preferences/Colour Management, I had enabled  'Try to use the system 
monitor profile's.

I disabled this, and it seems to work OK now.

Same with me. I'm switching back to 2.7.x for the time being.
