Large image with multiple layers Slows to a grinding halt
GIMP version: 2.10.8
Operating System: Windows 10
Package: Installer from gimp.org
Description of the bug
I do cartography and work with large picture sizes, 10kx20k pixels is my normal, prior to getting this new version it worked fine, but now if I want to copy paste anything and since I use multiple layers it grinds to a halt.it can take minutes for it to anchor the new attachment down. It did not do this when I was using 2.8
