Compared to GIMP 1.2.5, converting image to indexed palette is much slower
(for pictures that I often convert to indexed, GIMP 1.2.5 usually does the
conversion instantly, while GIMP 2.x takes several seconds [and fills the
progress bar 3 times while doing it]). I also prefer the result given by
GIMP 1.2.5.
