Those marching ants do chew up CPU power at the default speed. I have them set at 1000, which means one update per second. Setting them to 1000, 5000, or 9999 doesn't make any perceptible difference in the total CPU usage. Just now I tried setting the default speed to "0", but it reset to 10. -- http://ninedegreesbelow.com - articles on open source digital photography _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
