I think that's consistent with it being singlethreaded. AIUI, unless you pin the process to a single core, scheduling can make it bounce around between cores, and the probability you'll land on a different core (and, thus, incur more cache sync issues) goes up with the number of cores.
- IanCutress 6y agoGIMP decides to optimize the plugins for each individual core in the system, so the complexity of startup increases with the number of cores present. It's a single threaded process, so more cores = takes longer. At least for the first startup when that happens anyway.
