[Gimp-developer] Gaussian/Tileable blur: Choice of IIR and RLE still necessary?

[scl <scl gplus gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm currently working out a GUI brainstorm idea for the Gaussian and 
Tileable Blur dialogs. Both dialogs let the user choose between the 
algorithms IIR and RLE. The documentation says, IIR is faster on 
photographs, RLE faster on drawings. I've never found a difference in 
computing time between these both algorithms and wondered, whether the 
choice is still necessary with modern computer environments.
What do you think about it?

Thank you,

Sven
