thanks Mitch, for your reply.
You're right, on the Mac it depends on the number of processors. Varying 
this number in the preferences dialog between 1 and 16 showed 
significant differences. The operation takes 1 second if  #processors is 
set to 1 and about 8 seconds if it's set to 16 processors.
BTW: my Mac has 1 processor with 2 cores. It's quite pointless to be 
able to set #processors in prefs to 16. The upper bound for the input 
value should be the actual number of processors or cores. Is this a 
known issue or shall I file a new bug in Bugzilla?

How can I find this out? I used the fresh 2.8 version from 
gimp.lisanet.de. When running GIMP, the X window is open, too. So I'm 
sure it's the X11 build. How could I otherwise find out whether the Mac 
build is native?
