  Gimp (and stuff like it) won't use the graphics hardware at all in
this case, dudage.  It's raw R10K testicles.

  I wonder, Patrick...in this case, was gimp compiled to take full
advantage of the R10K processor, with a decent-for-MIPS-arch
(i.e. SGI's, not GCC) compiler?  If not, it's likely that it could do
even better.
