Also, what other memory hog applications do you have running at the same
time?  For example, you didn't have the same image already open in Photoshop
while you were testing the GIMP on it did you?  If so, that could have
easily pushed the required memory beyond your installed RAM size, forcing
extensive page swapping to/from disk.
