Re: [Gimp-developer] Ways to improve Gimp 2.9 performance

[Clayton Walker <blender3dartist gmail com>]

All you have to do is set marching ants speed to 10 and watch it ramp up the CPU.

Perhaps setting marching ants speed to 0 should simply disable the updates altogether? Generate the ants at one time, and don't bother updating them again...

Multi-core requires "love" to work well.

ImageMagick, for example, has been known to run considerably faster on busy systems with openMP disabled.

In GIMP 2.6, frequent "marching ants" were a CPU sink. (Bad "observer effect".)
