I don't see how optimizing the algorithm would solve the usability
problem. If we optimized the algorithm, we would spend less CPU cycles,
but the tool would still not behave like a paint tool. I think we need
to do something about the way the tool works. I have outlined a possible
solution in another mail.

Of course optimizing the Laplacion solver is still desirable. Have you
done any profiling on this yet? Is there a way to benchmark it? A
regression test would also be nice to have for this purpose.
