There were already issues on Trac regarding performance. I tried gimp2 
and gimp-devel within the last 2 years.

I just tested gimp2+quartz and it seems to be okay now. Airbrush/etc is 
not totally unusable but the performance does not match my Linux box. 
But my Linux box is a lot more powerful than my MacBook Pro (2018).
