Quote:The machine is pretty darn fast; I suppose you could add more cores if the software supports it but have you actually profiled if it is cpu or i/o bound ? I spend a lot of time on this sort of stuff and while I noted that you have an ssd not all ssd are created equal (io benchmarks are very mis-leading esp when it comes to very specific operations).
Btw how much memory do you have ? One would presume that 4GB would be enough if the raw file is only 72MB; hum. Well I hate to break the news but i'm not sure a quantum computer is going to fix this issue. I am curious have you tried to create a ram disk and operate 100% off of the ram disk ?
Well, I got a Samsung Evo 830 SSD. Again there's faster stuff out there but this isn't bad.
RAM is not an issue according to the system monitor (takes about 6GB thus less than half).
The CPU and disk are at 100% - which is good so there's balance.
I haven't tried a RAM disk yet but we are talking about a couple of hundred GBs here ;-)
That all being said - I just noticed that I still had NR activated in DPP ... ;-) ... so without it's now down to 40sec. (the DPP's NR is quite aggressive at ISO 200 already, BTW).
FWIW, I am talking about the RAW conversion. The analysis isn't so bad.
