First of all, thanks a lot to all the people who made GIMP possible, it is a great software!.
I saw this question around the internet but I did not find any solution/explanation.
Since 2.10, GIMP just freezes (sometimes about 1 minute) when you use a tool for the first time (like for example picking one colour, or selecting a rectangle).
After that first time, it works as expected.
Now, I'll post my specs, but don't say my computer is slow (and thats the problem), because it will run as expected after the first freeze. I can scale, colorize... (and all the effects you imagine) "big" images (2048x2048) with no freezing or any trouble at all.
CPU Intel Atom Z3735F 1.33-1.7 GHz
RAM 2GB
OS Windows 8.1 (x86).
I repeat, neither CPU nor RAM are the problem, because while GIMP is unresponsive, cpu and ram are not showing anything wrong, (I can for example, write in this forum with no trouble).
Could windows 8.1 be the cause?
I could go back to GIMP 2.8 which had no issues, but I don't want to
.
Thanks a lot!
