We should first fix the hot spots in the links you mention. That's for after 
2.1. Cyrille hinted that he knew why the opengtl-based colorspaces are pretty 
slow, and those are important since they deliver the linear, hdr colorspace 
that Ton asked about.

For the rest, it's profiling, profiling, profiling, with oprofile, valgrind 
and mutrace.

Is that in svn or on gitorious somewhere? I'm not opposed on principle to 
using opengl in more places -- we might even have an opengl textures backed 
paint device, if that is useful. As long as Krita remains usable for me :-)

Have you already seen the original design on the wiki? Shicmap told me she 
will be very busy for some time.
