106 MB is nothing for GIMP, not even an appetizer ➤ if your tile cache is correctly setup... if it's the default size at install, then you can have problems (this default size at install looks like it was setup during the last millennium
).I regularly work on file above 150 MB, some time even more than 3 or 400 MB, no problem at all.
I'm on Ubuntu-MATE i5 7400 and 24 GB of ram, the day I gave GIMP 2/3 of my ram (so as of today it's 16 GB) it was fast, smooth and no more hanging, etc...
This my setting ( Edit ➤ Preferences ➤ System resources (note that's in Giga))
