GIMP was shipped with the default of 10MB years ago. Memory is cheap nowadays and I guess we can expect the average user to have more RAM available. I'd suggest setting it to 32MB. I want to present an older idea once again since the discussion about the tile_cache_size is bac alive. I propose to add a dialog to the user_installation step that lets the user specify the tile_cache_size and the swap directory. Of course such a dialog would also have a few short sentences explaining the importance of these settings together with hints for a good choice. > However I've noticed that GIMP 1.1.15 has a little bug when changing this > value with the Preferences dialog.

Here it works like a charme and IIRC has been fixed a week ago. Salut, Sven
