Hi, I'm running IM on 2 different servers. The hardware of each server is equal. One is running ver. 6.5.2-3 2009-05-09 Q16 OpenMP and the other 6.5.3-2 2009-06-06 Q16 OpenMP
The server with the older version is going away because of a host of IM problems and features that don't work including ssh commandline, -distort, -strokewidth, and a few others.
The system running 6.5.3-2 runs IM perfectly but seems to run slower given the same task which is to generate jpg images via php-exec with the -caption command.
Are there choices that can be made during installation to optimize IM for text/font -caption handling without giving up other features?
Also, does IM offer any benchmarking tools other than the -debug command?
thx
Jeff

Re: Optimize IM installation for speed?
If the quality of the final image is not vital (you are not doing multiple and extreme heavy color modifications, or working with photo quality images, that will be enlarged to 'poster' sizes), then using or recompiling IM to be a Q8 version can make it run a lot faster with much less memory per image. The difference however should be reasonably close, so Q8 should do the job.
Best idea is to try it with the most distorted and color modified image proceesing you can find, and compare the results between Q8 and Q16 to see if it was worth it.
Oh and of course, do report what you find, and decided to go with, good or bad.

Re: Optimize IM installation for speed?
I reinstalled with Q-8 but don't see any difference.
The hardware is the same on both servers and they are hosted on the same network node , one IM install (6.5.2) is about 30-40% faster than the other but fails on several different functions described above..
When I run .identify -list configure on the faster install, no delegates show up in the output (see below) yet it reads and writes jpg,png,svg files OK.
I loaded 6.5.3 to a different folder and ran ./configure. No delegates were found. (see below)
So I wonder how IM can read and write jpg, png, svg without any delegates and do so 30% faster? Where is the faster install getting its delegates? I want to duplicate the installation in search of the speed but without the failures. Is there a simple way I can link the delegates for jpg, png, svg, and gif into the compile? (rather than installing them by hand?)
You can compare the 2 installs:
faster: http://interactimage.com
slower: http://fontmail.net
One final note. The faster install was done on my request by the support dept. for the vps server provider. Initially, it wouldn't read and write files and I had to submit a ticket asking them to fix it. They got the files to read and write OK but left with the various other issues and delegate libs hidden someplace. Any ideas on how they may have done it?
Some outputs are shown below...
on the faster install:
on the slower install the delegates appear:
Next I uploaded the latest version of IM to a different folder on the same server and run./configure --with-quantum-depth=8 --prefix=/usr/fig/ which yields a configuration as follows (no delegates) :

Re: Optimize IM installation for speed?
I found that an YUM install of 6.2.8 (latest available) runs much faster, on the -caption command at least, than an installation I did from source.
outputs from convert -list configure are shown below.
There are a lot of libs shown on the YUM install that don't appear on the one installed from source. Would one of these libs account for the extra speed of 6.2.8?
Is there a way to take advantage of all the libs added by YUM in the compile done from source? I tried adding LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib during configure but it didn't seem to make a difference
Thanks
Jeff
