Slow complex selection area

Hello all,

A few of our developers have noticed a rather concerning behavior with complex selection areas. When you start out with a simple selection area (say a square) and start adding to it, the whole app seems to start slowing down. After adding many area to the selection, the app as a whole seem to come to a screeching halt. However, if you start out with a fairly complex area (i.e. using the magic wand), the app doesn't seem to have as much of a problem with the whole complex selection area.

Has anybody else noticed this? If so, have you found a work around or at least a probable cause? We don't mind investing some time in fixing this, however, we would like to avoid duplicating effort.

Thanks,

Dan Gaudreault

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479875. Is this the problem you are seeing?
