I recently updated from RT 5.12-7 to 5.12-26. Because startup lasted much longer than usual, I reverted to 5.12-7.
Today I tried 5.12-30 which is also super slow. Image processing takes about twice as long as before. Renaming the cache directory also did not help.
Might this be a general error or is it my old Intel Xeon CPU?
I think, I am absolutely not a specialist in compilation, nor in Github, msys2, etc. that this is a problem related to a recent update of Msys/mingw64…
I make updates via ‘pacman -Syu’, about every 3 weeks or 1 month. I did the last one a few days ago and since then, whatever the code (I tried on a code from 6 months ago - gamutcompress) when compiling, there is a significant slowdown when launching - then it seems pretty much the same (I haven’t checked with measurements).
So, to be verified by other users, but it seems that a ‘package’ update is responsible - which one - I have no idea.
