Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the multithreading in GIMP? (feddit.de)

I just did some heavy image effects, like denoise, selective gaussian blur and similar stuff. Gimp was able to use all 4 cores of my CPU at the same time. Amazing. It still takes a few minutes depending on the effect and effect strength, but without multithreading it would've probably taken about 4 times as long.

I just discovered my Gimp crashes when I use the selective gaussian blur. Whoops

Edit:
It was because I used hardware accelleration with OpenCL. I hope this gets better, because my god, is it fast compared to the cpu alone.
