[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8.0 WIN32 - Very Slow

[narkfestmojo <forums gimpusers com>]

Tried completely deleting all colour profiles from my system through Windows Colour management
Tried fully disabling Colour management in the gimps preferences.
I don't think this has anything to do with colour management.

For Me,
It will slow down and start to lag after just ten minutes or so of drawing.
I found that you get the speed back if you restart the software.
It may simply be just clearing the undo stack that fixes it though, but I haven't tried reloading the xcf or 
clearing undo history yet.
I am using the x64 version in Windows 7 hp x64.

I would like to find out if the x86 version is better then the x64 version.
does anyone know how to install this version instead?
