So I mostly use MyPaint, but I'd like to be able to do some things in
gimp, too. But gimp is way too slow on this computer. Especially
trying to open large images like MyPaint encourages, I'll have to run
to another tty to try and kill the process so I can continue to use my
computer. I've got an old Pentium 4 with only about half a gig of RAM.
A bit behind the times, but especially on Linux it's generally fast
enough to get the job done.
Is there anything I can do to help improve performance? I don't have
much experience. I doubt I could write anything any faster. But maybe
I can do something to help identify bottlenecks? Anything I can do to
help, I'm game.
You can try turning off color management in your preferences (there's a
bug in GIMP 2.8 that makes painting tools and selection widgets slower
when color management is active) and you can try with different tile
memory settings but I'm afraid your system specs are low for high
resolution painting in a program like GIMP.
