Faster paint layers on and off

[geo_n]

Not sure if its my system but since ver 2 turning on/off layers in painting is very long for pc to process. Sometimes 1 sec just to turn off a painted layer. Having more than 5 layers and turning them off one by one is sluggish. Not sure if layers with displacements are slower but even just painted layers are slow.

Also blending layers is slow, too.

agreed...I hope some time for optimizations are soon possible.

It's a pretty big workflow killer when you're waiting on seeing a

layer blending change for 6+ seconds, don't like it, then wait another

6+ seconds to take it back to how it was. (seems like a small amount of

time, but added up over the course of working on something for 2-3 hours

or more and it's very, very off-putting)

Even with 8gig ram, the delay is noticable and puts a bad taste on the

creative process. (would a better graphics card assist?--see signature for specs)

For me, a layer that has been filled is the worst (stands to reason, I guess...more

data would require more calculation time).

I can verify this. It is sluggish and can get a little bothersome at times.

Wailingmonkey, a better video card doesn't help speed up the process unfortunately. I've got a GTX275 (with 1.896GB of GDDR3) and it doesn't help in that area, only with CUDA enabled stuff and the OGL version.

Totally agree. Id like to see speed increases with painting in general
