Yes, that is correct.

If you need to directly modify pixels, the current architecture makes a
copy of the pixel data, sends it to Java, then you need to write them back
when finished. Recent changes to Java may minimize this need to create
extra buffers.

> What changes to the JGimp implementation do you have coming up?

The changes we have planned primarily deal with the version of JGimp that
is directly embedded within the GIMP (not the one loaded as a plug-in). We
need to increase the stability and performance of that component for our
work.
