Question about brushes
Hello.
I've been using GIMP for a while now (since before I switched to Linux) and I really didn't use a lot of custom brushes. However, I've found out how useful they can be. However, I went overboard and added around 200-225 brushes to my list, and it caused a significant slowdown, and the CPU usage jumped up to 45%-50% constant.
For the record, I'm using a Core 2 Duo at 2.6 GHz with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and running Kubuntu Linux 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), though I'm going to upgrade to 8.04 soon.
My question is, what do you suggest as a limit to the number of brushes to have loaded at any one time? 75-100? Maybe less?
