Re: [Gimp-developer] Slow, artifact-prone redraw when panning in 2.8.0-RC1



... I'm packaging GIMP  for Mac OS X and can confirm this behaviour too. If color management is enabled, redrawing the picture, eg. switching the visibilty of a layer, gets horrible slow.

This is somehow related to first doing color correction and then scaling the image down. 
If I open a photo with e.g. 4800 x 3200 pixels, set zoom to 15%, add a some layer, GIMP redraws the screen very slow. If I set zoom to 100% without changing the size of the image window, redrawing is much faster. 

AFACIS at 100% zoom only the visible part of the image is used for color correction. At 15% zoom, the whole image is visible, and so all pixels are processed although the image is scaled down to fit into the image window.

IMO color management routines should be done on the already zoomed down view. There should be no visible difference to the actual behaviour if you do so, but it will be much faster.
