[Gimp-user] 2.8 performance when moving complex selections

[Reflat N <fokjulle gmail com>]

1. I illustrate something.

2. I select an area; copy and paste to float that area so that I can move it.

3. Move the selected area.

I've found that, working in 300DPI on an A4 canvas, 2.8 is performing noticeably jerkier than in 2.6. I have tested the same action in both versions. And I've ensured that all my preferences are identical too.

Any reason why this should be?
