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...
Hmmm... I always thought 150 MB image file was huge. :)
Have you looked at what the memory footprint of gimp is when it's
running with this image?

Gimp is using about 900mb.
I'm testing the same files inside a vmware player 7 virtual machine with
adobe using 900mb of ram and performance is fine.
Virtual Machine is set to use 2gb of ram.
