Hello
I am using a PC with 2 celeron processors, 192 Mo of ram, and a G200 matrox
graphic card. I made some experiences to see how fast goes Gimp under Linux
2.2.13 that i recompiled for SMP. So, i compared Gimp version 1.1.22
(recompiled smp) with XV and Photoshop 5.5 under windows. Here are the
results i got with the same picture of 40 Mo in tiff format with no
compression :
Photoshop (win) Gimp(linux)
XV(linux)
opening the picture :4 sec 7 sec 4
sec
modifing the curves :4 sec 35 sec < 1
sec
gaussian blur (20 pixels) :20 sec 2 min 32 sec
3 min 57sec
undo :< 1sec 17 sec < 1
sec
save file under (tiff) :5 sec 4 sec < 1
sec
The parameters of photoshop are defaults ones, and of course with one
processor because of windows. I changed the parameters of Gimp in
>preferences >environement. These results are obtained with a cache of 100
Mo and 2 processors. So my question is :
What can i do to have better results with Gimp ?
Thanks
