+ <guilabel>Synchronous preview</guilabel>: this option is
+ experimental. The idea is to render the preview as soon as
+ you change the transform. So instead of waiting for the mouse
+ to stop moving, it renders the result immediately. If GIMP
+ can render everything fast enough, this means a much smoother
+ and more instant feedback.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ But this option also blocks everything until the preview is
+ done rendering. This means, GIMP can become much less
+ responsive, usually when the layer is very large. That's why
+ this is disabled by default.
