Some editors keep what in effect is the undo stack, i.e. just the
operations - loading a saved file can take longer, but you don't use a
gigabyte on copying a file you might not need.

So I think with the GEGL graph we might be able to see this in GIMP,
without having to save scads of data to disk.
