I am happy to make Gimp's cache selfishly large. I am the only user, and any other applications are doing nothing.
I did increase cache to 12 GB. After Selecting and tweaking Contrast, Gimp became unresponsive. Per Task Manager, CPU went to 25%. (My machine has two cores and four threads.) After an hour, I decided increasing contrast in the sky was expendable.
Saying Gimp crashed or froze is wrong; it was running. It appears to be looping or working on a heavy chore, as discussed earlier.
Is there an instrumented (debug) version of Gimp that I can interrupt to see what it's doing?
No debug version I know of. You can of course recompile your own
But you don't report how much memory Gimp was using (screenshot of the dashboard before you add contrast) or if the swap file was created and if so how big it was.
