So you get twice the disk I/O: Gimp paging and system paging. At some point Gimp has more than 2GB of data, so starts its own swapping mechanism in addition to what the system already does.The 2GB of RAM for the tile cache are above what the system can really provide (what else is running?) so even before Gimp tries to use its own disk-swapping mechanism, some of its memory is swapped out by the system (the pagefile.sys file you see in the monitor panel).IMHO Gimp is using much more than 2GB and you have two overlapping problems: Gimp tells you how much memory it uses in the status bar at the bottom, next to the name of the current layer, when this area isn't used to display a message (so move the mouse outside of the image display, for instance to the toolbox). Looks like you have a fairly small system for what you want to do. As i inferred above, if the issue is not with disk consumption when executing plugins in GIMP, We will go command line if all other options are exhausted. Is the issue because of plugin closed/terminated in an inconsistent state?Cuz i think 100 % disk consumption for one application seems : But still GIMP displays "not responding" and consumes 100 % disk while executing GIMP plugins.

Since the working directory of GIMP on my PC is C:, I have deleted files and freed space in C. I looked up on Pagefile.sys and it happened to be a buffer on disk if RAM is fully incapacitated.

Screenshot of resource monitor with write operations in full size: Screenshot 3 of Resource Monitor which has write operations: And there were no other applications running besides Task Manager and Resource Monitor.Īs we can see, Disk consumption is at 99 % when only GIMP is running. GIMP would freeze with the message "not responding" when disk consumption hits "100 %". Now, the disk consumption was reduced to single digits(in percentage) when there were no applications running.Īfter starting GIMP, I still was able to observe oddities in disk consumption when performing operations in GIMP. Initially, the issue was due to Windows updates causing this consumption due to heavy I/O on a file that Windows updates access.(forgot to copy down the file name).So i installed updates from control panel and restarted my PC. I found it odd that the disk space consumption was 100 % in Task Manager even when there were no applications running(besides the background processes). I also observed some oddity in disk space consumption while GIMP was executing plugins. In the preferences dialog of GIMP,Tile Cache Size is set to 2048484 KB.
