Perhaps a too aggressive compression of the package? Very aggressive compression, and GIMP's install size is almost twice as large as that of LibreOffice. Probably the biggest reason for slow install is because both 32 and 64-bit versions are in the same installer, and when doing a 64-bit install, a lot of 32-bit version is also installed; I've been meaning to look into optimizing this, but haven't gotten around to do it yet. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< https://eternallybored.org/ > Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you when things go wrong. -- Chase's Rule For Success _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
