lots of photos and startup time
 
|
Hello,
I use Digikam to organize my photo collection and manage all the photos, the main problem is startup time. I have more than 20.000 photos on disk. Well in fact I have even more if I include archives from last years. But I put only these 20.000 in Digikam collections. When I start Digikam it takes _minutes_, if I just want to find one single photo I need to wait few minutes first. Or use different application like geeqie (I store photos as RAW files, but geeqie knows how to show them). I disabled checking for new files at startup but still it takes lots of time to just read the database. Picasa doesn't have this problem. Is it a bug? Should I just put less files in Digikam collections and organize them by file manager instead Digikam? -- Free Software - find interesting programs and change them NetHack - meet interesting creatures, kill them and eat their bodies Usenet - meet interesting people from all over the world and flame them Decopter - unrealistic helicopter simulator, get it from http://decopter.sf.net _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

The question is why it takes minutes?
I have a collection with over 200.000 images, it starts quite fast (ok KDE3 version is faster, but still it takes only 10-20 seconds, depending on my system cache). Which filesystem do you use (for images and the digikam database)?

And just one more note: those 10-20 seconds startup time are only true for the
first start of course, after that digiKam is up in less then 3 seconds. I just timed it correctly, without the thumbDB and all caches cleared: sudo sync sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches it takes 7 seconds on first startup, with thumbDB enabled 15 seconds (but this is another story).

I have the same problem with ReiserFS. With a collection of about 8700 photos first startup takes about 1 min 20 sec, subsequent startups about 5 sec.

Hmm seems to be a reiserFS problem, since every one reporting this is using
reiserFS, also the older reports are talking about reiser. Unfortunately my media drive is 300GB big, so I'm not willing to change my ext4 filesystem to reiserfs now :) But I might use another partition tonight and convert it. My other test collection of 25.000 images should fit on there. Maybe I can see the speed issues, too. Note that reiserFS is fragmenting quite fast, much more then all the other linux filesystems. So even if I create a test partition today, I'm not sure if I will see performance issues, since the reiserFS partition will be quite fast. Do you know a script that can simulate a lot of disk activity, so I can try to fragment the partition in a short time?

Andi,
just a stupid question : do you run splashscreen at startup or progress dialog ? Can you switch to check the difference ?

Hmm there is something different then the splashcreen? Never seen that!
;-) Ok I will check. But again for me startup time is quite normal, I don't think 7 seconds is too much for so many images (and remember, all libs need to be loaded on first run, too). But over 1 minute and more is strange and has been reported a lot for reiserFS partitions. I will create a reiserFS partition later on and test it.

Hmm Gilles I don't have a progress bar when I disable the splashscreen.
Am I misunderstanding you here? But it is not faster or slower, now that the splash is disabled.

Ok, it really is a little bit slower WITH the splash enabled then without it.

Until recently (a week ago or so), I have been using ext3 [1] and did not notice such a long startup. Now it takes about three minutes to load 15 thousand images (the splash screen shows "reading database") for the first run after PC reboot. Iotop shows average read activity 600 kB/s. (I have 4 GB RAM on amd64 with digiKam 0.10.0, ubuntu.) If I quit digiKam and start again, it takes about 5 seconds.... Flushing cache does not lead to expected long startup time - just about 13 seconds. > Note that reiserFS is fragmenting quite fast, much more then all the other > linux filesystems. So even if I create a test partition today, I'm not sure if > I will see performance issues, since the reiserFS partition will be quite > new. In my case, I do not think a significant fragmentation would appear in a week time (desktop computer use, 750 GB HDD, 40 % free). And it is still slow. [1] Off topic: There is a known problem with kernel 2.6.x in some linux distributions - high I/O activity makes the desktop computer unusable with programs which need some, even minimal, read/write on harddrive (Firefox, Evolution, etc...). With reiserfs (and others), the problem is not so obvious as with ext3. Recent kernel 2.6.30 should improve some things with ext3, but the general fact that high I/O "kills" the desktop still remains. regards, Milan Knizek knizek (dot) confy (at) volny (dot) cz http://www.milan-knizek.net - About linux and photography (Czech language only) _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
