Hi guys,
Here's what I am doing. I have hundreds of thousands of images (ranging from 50kb to 1.2MB) on an ssd (Torqx M28 128gb). I am processing these images using graphicsmagick on Fedora 13. I am performing 6 composites per GM operation. So for instance, GM will open up one image and then open up 5 others to composite onto the first. It will then save this image on a separate hdd. I am currently getting about 10 completed images per second but would like to increase this number.
Do you think the single ssd is enough to not bottleneck this operation?
Would a hardware raid controller improve performance by offloading the the IO load from the cpu even though the disks aren't in raid?
My cpu is a Xeon x3220 @ 2.4ghz. While my script which performs the GM operation is running, the CPU stays at 90%+ load.
Thanks for your help
