Otherwise you are not using much of your RAM and almost all the tile data ends up in the swap file which is indeed limited to 2GB (see below). > 1.

I can definitely tell you that GIMP-1.2 as well as GIMP-1.3 up to version 1.3.11 have the same problem on whatever platform you use them. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74478 I have finally fixed this in CVS last weekend and successfully tested with the swap files growing to almost 5 GB. The fix will in the 1.3.12 release. If you need it now, you will have to use GIMP from CVS. You should however note that this is an unstable development tree and there certainly are bugs in GIMP-1.3.
