[Digikam-users] editing with Color Management enabled is very slow?

There is a configuration switch to use lcms2, I have not yet tested this. 
Default is lcms1.

it cannot access the LUT

I really did not look into the new KDE CM stuff.
In my dreams, I assign a profile to a region on screen, and the window manager 
knows the monitor profile, and handles the color conversion.
The assumed default profile for "all" windows would be sRGB if I'm not too 
wrong.

If digikam converts from the working color space to the monitor profile, and 
KDE thinks it is sRGB and converts again to the monitor profile, that would be 
double correction, isnt it?

If the KDE stuff works, I would hope digikam does not need to care at all 
about the workspace -> monitor conversion.
