Improve processing performance

[S. Burmeister]

Hello everybody!

I have an AMD 4000+ dual core and 2GB RAM. If I process RAW pictures (10MPx)
or perform operations like e.g. sharpening (even the preview) it takes a long
time. Digikam only uses one core, so I guess a quad-core would not improve
performance.

Does anyone have experience whether e.g. an INTEL dual-core would increase the
performance to a degree that is worth spending the money?

1/ digikam use multithreading everywhere. so if thread maanagement is fine, they canbe forks to another processor easily.

2/ for RAW decoding, we use LibRaw since few month. If you compile libkdcraw with OpenMp support, Raw decoding will use parallelized computation. Tested here on Intel double core, but never on AMD.

In general, i think intel multiprocessors architecture is better supported under Linux than AMD...
