How much time? The memory usage does not sound abnormally high, but it will depend a lot on what you are doing with MyPaint. Without more concrete info its impossible for us to say if this low performance is a bug or expected behavior. We know that MyPaint performance is not top notch at the moment. Saving in particular has clear potential for improvement. > Did you have an idea or opinion about that and wich minimum pc > configuration did you advice for optimal or accurate used of mypaint > thank's for advance and sorry for my frenchglish > MyPaint should work on any hardware, but it will (naturally) be slower on older systems. A hot tip (applies to anything really) is too keep memory usage below the level where the system will start to swap memory to disk. Ways to achieve this is to not draw as big, close other applications while working et.c. -- Regards Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com
