Gimp 2.10 very slow

Hi,
I have recently upgraded gimp from 2.8.22 to 2.10 and the program runs very slow compared to my previous instalation. I uninstalled everything ( i even deleted all folders including the ones on appdata, etc), but the problem still persists. I tried reseting the settings but nothing. Lets say i open gimp and import an image to it, then if for example i go to Colors->Levels it needs some seconds to open. On 2.8.22 it opens instant. The Gimp runs on windows 10 on Intel Core i7 6700, 16 GB Ram with NVidia 1060 - 6GB VRam. I dont know what is the issue but i immediatly downgrade to 2.8.22 which runs flawlessly on my computer.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

Having the same problem here on Ubuntu 18.04.

Opening preferences takes 20 seconds and when we changed some color ICC settings it takes 2 minutes before I can go on.

I have the same problem with Gimp 2.10. Previous version was much faster.
I work on a Win 10, CPU I7-7700K.

Anyone knows how to fix this?
Cause its suppose to support multi core CPU and hardware acceleration but its slower than ever. Maybe all these are just a gimmick cause i dont see any benefit from all the above.

just for the record, it is not so bad here on my mageia v7 x86-64 system: preferences open in about 3 seconds the first time while my machine is loaded with cpu intensive processes, and gimp seems responsive.

I can try that in an ubuntu 18.04 VM later. In the meanwhile you can try profiling gimp using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace and other tools or try running it in a new user.

tried it in an 18.04 vm with gimp from this ppa - http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/04/how-to-install-gimp-2-10-in-ubuntu-18-04-17-10-via-ppa/

- it runs quickly and wo any major problem.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

I just installed on my netbook with Ubuntu 18.04 and it runs smooth, so the slow performance seems to machine related.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

I just installed on my netbook with Ubuntu 18.04 and it runs smooth, so the slow performance seems to machine related.

Propably its windows related, i tried Gimp on 5 different machines and each one of them is slow. Also i have noticed in many users who use Gimp 2.10 on youtube (they post tutorials), theirs are also slow.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

Hi,

using the 2.10 RC2 on my Asus ROG 750 T4024JH on Win7, I have noticed Gimp is completely frozen for a few seconds when using selection related tools.

Example: select an area, use bucket tool with "fill whole selection" mode, Gimp will not responds for seconds before actually filling the selected area.
With a quite fair sized canvas, like 2048x2048 or even less.

+ (too) many other issues I never seen before with any release.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

Slow I think is too generous. I would say 486 about describes the performance. Win 10 64. TR 1950x, 32 GB RAM, 2 R7 370's.

We're talking a minute waiting for export dialogs to finally become visible, and when they do a majority of the time they aren't on the foreground. You have to go hunting.

I had 2.8 on my previous build, no problems whatsoever. My previous build was a FX8350 with 24GB of RAM. Same video.

2.8 = Lamborghini Aventador SV

2.10 = Ford Pinto

That's with 8 GB more RAM, 8 more cores, and 16 additional threads. And a whole bunch of additional PCIe lanes. Source material on nvm's vs platters. I surely wasn't expecting this slow. I am going to reinstall 2.8 now.

At this point I am just basically saying me too. Not expecting assistance on a work around, I'll try the next version when it comes out.

Also 2.10 is a RAM pig.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

Not to dismiss your experience, mine is different:

GIMP 2.10.0 opens in about 7~8 seconds (first opening of the day; subsequent openings are faster).
The "Export As" dialogue opens in 4 sec. Ram usage is about 2.07 GB, 26%. WIN 7 64 Pro, SP 1, 8GB RAM

My initial install experience with 2.10.0 was bad. It opened *very* slowly and then wouldn't open at all.
- I uninstalled 2.10.0.
- I uninstalled 2.8.16 (which supposedly had been uninstalled or overwritten).
- I installed 2.10 to **a brand new folder.** - It runs like a charm (so far).

Might be worth a try.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

An interesting variable:
- My first download was from the GIMP direct download site. - My second download of 2.10.0 was from a mirror site. Who knows? I think cleaning out remnants of 2.8 16 and putting 2.10.0 in a new folder did the trick.

on my openSUSE Tumbleweed gimp 2.10 opens in < 4 seconds and uses < 80 mb of memory w/o swap, while darktable utilizes 182 mb of memory.

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.

I am sure your expert evaluation of the most expensive product, gimp, will be well received. I am sorry your currency was ill spent.

ps: are you in any way related to Mr. Edsel who also went the way of the dodo?

We are not here to discuss how much we spent for gimp. This forum is to discuss bugs and other issues we are facing and to share opinions and maybe ways (if someone found) to improve gimp. If noone ever discuss the issues / bugs cause the gimp is free, then the developers wouldnt be able to improve it. If you think that we cant say our problems cause gimo is free, i am sorry my friend but this forum is not for you.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

I should add no one here claimed to be experts, no one claimed to have wasted money, the car references were simply a different way to explain the performance gap. The lambo being the fastest current production car and the pinto being one of the slowest.

A gimp expert would dig in and fix it. A photography expert would use a paid alternative.

an open source product can not be great without bug reports and forums like this.

Like others in this thread, I did start with a clean slate. My current build had never had GiMP installed on it. However wasn't a total fresh win install. So I may try to clean things up better, but to be honest, the installer program should be doing that cleaning.....in a perfect world. Without feedback open source gets no where near perfect.

I am not trying to start a flame war, just trying to understand that severely off base comment. Chocking it up to sarcasm for the moment. Comparing someone to edsel implies the someone is a business, yeah not so much. Just someone who used gimp to make some images for a pet project.

As someone who values all of my time, that paid alternative would have been less expensive. Just saying. There is no such thing as free. Everything has an expense. This is not a complaint, it''s a fact I chose to go the "Free" route, I then chose to upgrade to an untested (by me) product for a project I wasn't quite done with yet. I then chose to make my experience known so that those who are experts at gimp can have a look and see what's going on, and if I am lucky can fix it. Most importantly of all, someone who hasn't upgraded yet may read this thread learning to go about the process differently than I did and as a result have a much better experience. Lord knows forums have saved me numerous times.

While I am at it, I should clarify, I don't have a load time issue with 2.10, I have an everything else is slow issue. It frequently stops responding for the most mundane of tasks, well nearly every operation. Merely out of curiosity, when I am done with this project I will attempt a deep clean and see what happens. It does sound like a registry reference to a deleted file didn't get cleaned up during the install process.

I am sure your expert evaluation of the most expensive product, gimp, will be well received. I am sorry your currency was ill spent.

May I express my hope that someone involved with another, big Free Software project would use such replies as an opportunity to demonstrate their experience with Free Software development and search the discussed software project's bug tracker for a bug report describing the issue?

We are not here to discuss how much we spent for gimp.

We are spending time on the issues here, though, so discussing and spending are intertwined.

But let's not get too distracting, because...

This forum is to discuss bugs and other issues we are facing and to share opinions and maybe ways (if someone found) to improve gimp.

... this is what we actually want to do.

The corresponding bug report is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795880

Different compiler flags are likely the reason for speed differences encountered in different builds, and figuring out those which provide fast, yet still accurate results is the constructive way to go forward.

Gimp 2.10 very slow

Thank You Michael for the link to the bug report. I went and downloaded Partha's portable 2.10 and it performed as expected for a portable app.

I will try the install version some other time. But for now, my non expert opinion seems to concur that not all windows builds are impacted. Partha seemed to confirm that the core Gimp is the same as the official build, just the compiler is configured differently.

tried it in an 18.04 vm with gimp from this ppa - http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/04/how-to-install-gimp-2-10-in-ubuntu-18-04-17-10-via-ppa/ - it runs quickly and wo any major problem.

on Ubuntu 17.10 I followed your link and installed this ppa's version Gimp runs fine and takes about 2 or 3 seconds to launch the first time.

I'll keep this version and get rid of 2 other installed versions : - snap version is the quicker and launches allmost instantly but the menu's font is wrong (looks like some courrier font) and there are right issues : i cant access folders and read files - flatpak is the slower and takes 4-5 seconds the first time
