Thanks Partha. I had in fact changed the tile/cache value in an attempt to
"speed up" your 2.9.5 build. I'm working with 16-bit high DPI scans and adding
multiple layers does affect how quickly Gimp performs operations (I routinely
see 4GiB memory usage on open images). I have renamed the
APPDATA\Roaming\Gimp\2.9 folder to get Gimp to revert to defaults (since I
cannot remember the defaults for cache, etc.).

Warmest regards (and thanks for your Windows Gimp builds!).
