Is it a result of the move to GEGL? Will it be fixed? GIMP 2.8 is not ported to GEGL. If I try this on git master (which IS ported to GEGL), it takes much less than a second on my linux machine, and is even faster on my Mac, even though there is zero threading and only one processor used. I don't currently have 2.8 installed on this Mac, but it can hardly be slower, unless the threading got broken in GLib, try to set #processors to 1 in prefs and try again. Also, what build are you using? Native or X11? --Mitch _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
