Package: gwenview
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal

I like gwenview for it's ability to perform lossless JPEG rotations. My
digital camera does not have an orientation sensor so I need to do the
rotation manually. But since a few weeks ago rotating images has become
ridiculously slow.

You might get the image I tested this with at:
http://workaround.org/gwenview-slow.jpg

Left-rotating the image takes 20 seconds on a Pentium 4/2.8 GHz. Rotating
it back to the original orientation takes just one second. While waiting
for the rotation to be done I watched my system using "top" and "htop". It
appears that gwenview is consuming 100% of the CPU in the task list while
the "sy"(stem) load is pretty high. No idea what gwenview is waiting for.

A while ago rotating images has taken ~1 second per image. Asking on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] just got one response of another gwenview user who
couldn't reproduce this.

"kimdaba" claims to also use the kipi-plugins (which IMHO are responsible
for the lossless JPEG rotation feature) but is as fast as always. So it
appears it's not a general kipi problem.

Thanks for investigating.
