On the "Export Image as PNG" dialog, my compression level was set to 9, causing png exports to take over 60s.  If I set it to 4, about 2s.  Awesome, but the next time the dialog comes up: 9.  Is there a way to set this permanently to 4?  (either inside gimp, or somewhere out in config/options/settings files)

If you are using V2.10.38 set the compression value that you want then click the "Save Defaults" button.

With V3.0.0 RC2 the last used values are presented when exporting a png - alternatively you can save and re-load settings - so V3.0.0.RC2 would do what you want.
