GIMP Version: 2.8.4 Operating System: Linux OS Version: Ubuntu 13.10 GIMP Experience: Beginner Level
List any relevant plug-ins or scripts: N/A
List any ERROR messages you received: N/A
Symptoms/Problem: I am using the latest version of GIMP (installed via Ubuntu Software Center) and when I start it, GIMP works fine. Great, actually. But over a period of a few minutes (10-20) the performance slows down considerably and GIMP becomes very sluggish. No other applications exhibit this behavior. I have posted this inquiry on the GIMP Forum and it was suggested that the cause could be "memory fragmentation."
Operating System: Ubuntu 13.10
Hardware: Lenovo Z580, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Intel i5 2.6GHz processor, 750GB HDD
Question: Is anyone else familiar with this happening with GIMP and Ubuntu 13.10? Does this sound like "memory fragmentation?" If so, do you have any suggestions, ideas, and/or solutions?
Thank you in advance.
