Hello,

I'm having problems with gimp and image files of 150mb and larger - psd and tiff format (I haven't tried others). Gimp is taking a couple of seconds to show the selection from the eclipse tool for example. Moving a layer is real slow & most other operations takes a long time to render. I disabled compiz but the problem persists.

My machine has 6gb ram & Intel core Duo p9700 2.8ghz. Should be enough right? I have 3gb set on title cache size on gimps preferences which improved a bit but the performance its far from being usable.

Anyone knows any tricks to make gimp more responsive? a 150mb file is really not that large...

I'm not finding much more on google. I'm running ubuntu Karmic 64bit

Thanks.
