At least earlier, before some mem-leak plugging, gimp leaked tiles. So when I was editin a large image (3000x4000 or something, a scanned slide), I started to hear a "tick... tick.. tick.. tick.. "-sound from the harddisk.. Further investigation showed that while Gimp was basically idle and I was doing nothing with the image.. Hm.. It happens still: tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >date Wed Nov 10 21:35:29 EET 1999 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >ls -la gimpswap.1108 -rw------- 1 tigert tigert 104087552 Nov 10 21:35 gimpswap.1108 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >date Wed Nov 10 21:35:36 EET 1999 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >ls -la gimpswap.1108 -rw------- 1 tigert tigert 104382464 Nov 10 21:35 gimpswap.1108 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >date Wed Nov 10 21:35:42 EET 1999 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >ls -la gimpswap.1108 -rw------- 1 tigert tigert 104656896 Nov 10 21:35 gimpswap.1108 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >date Wed Nov 10 21:35:46 EET 1999 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >ls -la gimpswap.1108 -rw------- 1 tigert tigert 104845312 Nov 10 21:35 gimpswap.1108 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >date Wed Nov 10 21:35:49 EET 1999 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 >ls -la gimpswap.1108 -rw------- 1 tigert tigert 105070592 Nov 10 21:35 gimpswap.1108 tigert@tigert ~/.gimp-1.1 > However, the GOOD part is it doesnt eat RAM anymore, so it doesnt crash X when I go to lunch :) But 1MB in 20 seconds is pretty weird to me.. And like I said, gimp is sitting idle. I'll check once more..
