that's doing it incorrectly.

the correct way to do it is by saving an edit list and replay it, not
saving a version of the entire image each time. 

each step is *tiny*, measured in bytes and replaying is *fast*,
especially when rendered on a gpu.

nope. they aren't doing it at all and have no immediate plans to do so.

they now claim that it might be added in version 3.2 (a change from
their previous claim which was a flat 'no'), except they haven't
figured out how to do it, according to their own road map.

the gimp is a toy, lacking features photoshop had 30 years ago and
*significantly* slower on the same hardware.
