It is propably windows related issue and maybe hardware related as well.
I have tried gimp 2.1 on another pc (it was the first time gimp was installed on
that pc) and the performance was terrible. I dont know what to say. All these
updates and improvements are worthless if its not stable. And they should remove
this release from stable releases.
