[Bug 41798] Re: Gimp lags and misses some strokes especially when drawing fast

[Kristoffer Lundén]

Found another one with  the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142832&highlight=gimp+lag

That description is probably better, too:

"have my Wacom Graphire 4 tablet working on Linux (Ubuntu 6.04,
kernel 2.6.15, built-in tablet drivers) and get bad pressure sensivity
and line quality in The GIMP 2.2.10, but at least it's working.

However, when using any of the paint/ink tools, although producing a
decent stroke, it fails to keep up. The stroke does not lag as if on a
slow system, but if I end a stroke and quicky make another stroke, the
second stroke does not appear.

I notice that the CPU goes up to 100% whenever I paint with the
paint/ink tool, and there's a slight cursor-lag at the end of each
stroke, which I guess is why the system is not catching the next one.

I'm sure this is not due to GIMP's inefficiency, as it works fine on
my friend's much slower computer."
