If you want to play with other sizes, give it a try. The only problem is that you won't be able to read XCF files you've written with a GIMP compiled with other tile sizes. With some effort this could be handled in the XCF routines though. > I suppose that is the default value for GEGL as well. I don't think there's a tile-based pixel storage module in GEGL yet but it was planned to add that.

So what? I mean how is the CPU type related to the tile size? Well, I know there are relations but I think that it is up to you to explain them to us. After all it's you who brought this topic up again. BTW, I've played with other tile sizes some months ago and came to the conclusion that 64x64 is still a reasonable choice. Sven
