Trying to understand why CPU MAX OUT with Gradient - scatterbrainz - 12-30-2019 Greetings Everyone, I'm trying to understand why GIMP - (version 2.10.14), when on i5-2500 cpu with 32GB RAM and GTX 760 (2GB), was maxing out system, but now on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 32GB and a GTX 760 (2GB) its still MAXing out the cpu. PS: I haven't re-installed anything yet. But I'm wondering why this is sucks up EVERYTHING ! I5-2500 -> https://ibb.co/MM9MpcB Ryzen 5 3600X -> https://ibb.co/RP7JX1D Thanks.

This Gimp 2.10.14 / kubuntu 18.04 / some sort intel gpu applying a gradient to A4 graphic and constantly moving the stop points This one 4 threads https://i.imgur.com/4prjADU.mp4 All cores going but max at about 70% This with 1 thread https://i.imgur.com/wWwSoQz.mp4 It does max at 70% but only one core at a time.
