Learning something new to me I was not aware about pixel-binning, never heard before, thus I read some interesting articles, and noises wise it's interesting and I "understand" now why in night mode it does a surprisingly good job.
"so your real image is 10-12Mpix" I've checked an image in 48mp from my phone (sunny day time), it's a real 8000x6000 = 48mp (my phone has 4 cameras, maybe it's because of that? anyway, let's face it, it's out of my knowledge )

A 5000 x 5000 image + mask + a single layer under, gets up to 600 MB in memory, not inconsiderable.
Taking into account the mask, a 10 deg. rotation takes 52 seconds , with the mask applied 37 seconds.
That is the overhead rotating the mask as well, a good percentage.
Oh
I promise, I won't complain anymore when a G'MIC filter takes more than 30 seconds
"Washingtons axe", never heard about it (I'm not American, though), nice story/myth about the cherry tree and the meaning behind it
