IM performance

Post by dsl »

I have an images processing website. And I use IM for my purposes.
Could you please give me any advices how to improve IM performance? It looks like the main issue is with disks IO.
May be some basics ones, create RAM disk on /tmp directory or whatever else?

wbr,
Oleg

We have worked on performance over the last several point releases of ImageMagick. Our first suggestion would be to upgrade. Otherwise we would need to know which command options you are using or API calls before we could make further suggestions.
