I just installed the new unstable development release GIMP 2.7.4 on my new and shiny Ubuntu 11.10. I haven't done rigorous testing, just do what I usually do i.e a light touch and it feels faster.

The one window mode feels more and more native and not just a patch, earlier it usually back to multi windows when restarted. Feels great.

And no, the horrible S&M style splash screen still there.

Just remember this is unstable release, bugs (and sleepless night) are expected.

Read here on how to add this PPA to your Ubuntu repository.
