That is correct. But this should only affect memory usage and start-up time. So as long as you have enough RAM, more brushes shouldn't slow GIMP down (except for the increased start-up time). > Is there any caching that would allow to have them available but not > loaded full-res until we need them ? Lazy-loading of brushes and other resource files has been proposed several times, but it was never fully implemented. There's a bug-report about it and we are of course appreciating patches to implement this.
