Blurrin a 20MPx (5472x3648) image here with gaussian blur in gimp takes about 5 seconds, 1920x1280 then takes less than 3 seconds. I'm not sure how well is gimp's blurring optimized and/or gpu powered, but 3 seconds really doesn't sound bad for one-time generation in the background. Of course there are different activities and different wallpapers but still could be solved. Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
