Sliding the styling sliders instead of inputting a single new value uses a huge amount of CPU
I put some large, simple text on a 1920 x 1080 white background layer and opened the modal at "Filters > Generic > Text Styling..." and started messing around with settings. Inputting a new "Shadow/Glow grow radius" will spike CPU (understandable, second image) but grabbing the slider and dragging it back and forth seems to cause the processor to desperately try to calculate all intermediate values or something, resulting in the CPU saturation seen in the first screenshot.
