I do not know how it copes with 6800 tiles, that is one large canvas.
Thanks. I would have never found that. It couldn't handle 6800 tiles on my computer though; I gave it 10 minutes or so and processor was getting hot. In the meantime I discovered XNView photo management program can do it; computing time was maybe 20 seconds. In case anyone else needs this (unlikely; I'm seeing virtually no discussion anywhere online about joining large numbers of tiles) you do it by making a contact sheet and set the spacing to zero. IrfanView also does it but it couldn't handle 6,800 tiles although it did handle 3,500.
That's a 22k*22k image, not impossible with Gimp but you need a PC with some serious RAM.
Also, took a hard look at the script and some optimizations a possible. Given its popularity it's worth trying to speed this up.
