Description JayH 2015-04-06 13:15:52 UTC

If you try to create a document, it is very slow. Selecting the default A4 takes around 8-10 seconds. This on a Core i7, 16GB etc. This is the same for all documents and also loading existing ones.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a document preset
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Takes a long time to create the image

Expected Results:  
I'd expect it to be almost instantaneous like other software.

Is this still an issue in Krita 2.9.4?
I have an AMD X4 II 640 3GHz and 8Gb of ram but i get 3 seconds for a A4(300ppi), 4-5 secs for A4(600ppi), but much more if i set the color to be 16bit.
So along with the first question, which settings were you using?

On my sp3, if I create a  16 bits 600 dpi A4 document it takes a long time, but that's not too strange, it's really underpowered and has very little memory. 8 bits 300 dpi A4 is pretty much instant with 2.9.4.

Is this still an issue with the newest version? (2.9.5.1 at the time). I know there have been quite a few improvements with the speed of Krita loading. Krita appears quite fast for me now with the recent updates. I am on Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi JayH,

Can you please try the latest version of Krita.

As suggested by others in the comments above.

Due to lack of response I am closing this issue for now, if you think you are still facing this issue, please feel free to re-open this bug report

thank you
