mike21 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I have installed the new beta and ran a speed check, comparing it with the current version 1.6.5.135. I loaded a RAW (CR2 format) file of 27.5 Mb; the current version took 20 secs and the new beta 22 secs. I then immediately (without any processing) "developed" in each version - the "stable" version took 15 secs and the beta 1 min 22 secs, with almost all of that time without any sign of activity. I repeated the beta test with the same result. Saving the resulting jpeg in afphoto format and exporting as a jpeg gave virtually equal timings.

My open speed has improved for ORF files, but I have to agree the develop speed is slower.

AiDon Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 What is the GPU you are using? You can check under Performance in the Preferences and then under Renderer.

mike21 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 My desktop computer is 7 years old. 4 Gb RAM, SSD, 2 core 3.2 GHz processor, 2 Gb video card. I have just tried again with the same CR2 file - time to load 27 seconds, time to develop 1.min 20 seconds, including 25 seconds before the develop moving bar appeared. With the non-beta version straight after, time to load was 23 seconds, time to develop 39 seconds, with the develop bar appearing immediately.

C_Calmes Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I also observed the same problem with my CR2 files (18Mpx), but with my RAF files (24Mpx), it's better with the new 1.7.0.188. It's even faster than the Canon RAW files.

mike21 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 My computer has just been upgraded from 4 Gb RAM, two core 3.2 GHz processor and an SSD to 8 Gb RAM and a quad core 2.83 processor - the most the motherboard will take (7 years old). Speeds are remarkably faster, Load time of a 27.5 Mb CR2 file (Canon 750 D) for ver 1.65 has dropped from 20 secs to 12 secs, and beta ver 1.7 from 22 secs to 12 secs. Time to develop for 1.65 has dropped from 15 secs to 9 secs and the beta version dropped massively from 1 min 20 secs to 9 secs. Times for other operations are generally slightly faster than previously for both versions, but they were quite quick anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Photo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The develop time got faster with the .209 beta, but still not as fast as 1.6 has been for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
