Public bug reported:

On my Sony Vaio VPCCA (Intel Sandy Bridge), when I select 37 JPG-images
with together a size not more than 5 MB and open them with a rightclick
and "open with GIMP", GIMP opens them very, very slow. After having
opened all pictures it takes about 30 seconds until GIMP is ready. The
menus in the unity global menu don't work anymore, and I have to
rightclick into an image to get the options. In the background GIMP,
unity-panel-service and compiz go mayhem (see screenshot attached) and
together sometimes take up over 150% CPU power. Working with images is
impossible and GIMP sometimes accepts my changes of an image, sometimes
not. This is very annoying!!

I not sure, but this could have something to do with with crappy
unity/compiz, because I always have similar problems with other programs
too. They are slow, laggy, the global menu is not working right, and
sometimes the program simply crash without saying anything. On my
xubuntu without compiz this shit never happens with these programms,
neither with GIMP.
