 ## Optimized drawable preview rendering
 
-Most creators with advanced layer usage experienced it: with
-too many layers in a big image, GIMP has trouble keeping up.
-Scrolling the layer list is slow, showing or hiding layers is slow…
+Most creators working on complex projects in GIMP have had bad days when there
+are many layers in a large image, and GIMP can't keep up with scrolling the
+layers list of showing/hiding layers.
 
-One of the main bottleneck was layer preview rendering taking over the
-interface responsiveness. Ell did again some miracles here by having
-most drawable previews render asynchronously.
+Part of the reason was that GIMP couldn't update user interface until it was
+done rendering layer previews. Ell again did some miracles here by having most
+drawable previews render asynchronously.
 
-The only exception is for layer group, whose preview cannot be rendered
-asynchronously at this time. For this reason, a settings was added in
-the Preference dialog to disable preview of layer groups. This settings
-is enabled by default.
+For now, the only exception to that are layer groups. Rendering them
+asynchronously is still very expensive, so until we deal with this too, we made
+it possible for you to disable rendering layer group previews completely. Head
+over to _Preferences > Interface_ and tick off the respective checkbox.
