Measuring the performance of GIMP with and without GEGL does not
really make sense yet, due to additional overheads of different kinds
that are involved (many of which eventually will disappear when the
transformation of GIMP is complete). One of these is the ping-pong
dance going back and forth between 128 bits/pixel and 32bits/pixel for
every thing that is done.
