It should not be an issue for properly functioning graphics hardware, the optimizations elsewhere make up the tiny slowdown it introduced with large surplus, but in combination with GPU not taking its share of the display update load, it can can theoretically perform worse than 2.6. And now Im remembering that years ago I had a 9800SE radeon card and I actually needed to change that option too to have any performance in painting apps. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
