Canon DPP clone stamp takes minutes to start up

[ernest]

The latest DPP version I use is 3.14.15 (3.14.15.2), I use it on an iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4Gb memory and OS X 10.9.3.

When I want to use the clone stamp tool I have to wait several minutes (2-3) until it gets enabled and I can zoom in 100% and start using it. This has been going on for several releases now, same as the out of memory bug.

"... there was at least one firmware release, yet this problem persists, ..."

One note about firmware updates, if you don't see the issues you are concerned with in the release notes of the update, it will not be fixed.  The firmware will be exactly the same except for the items noted.
