I tried on a desktop machine with a fast harddrive and it's much
quicker, thank you for your help. This is 2 x 2.7GHz Opterons 254s,
4gb of ram, 10k rpm hard drive:
gegl-0.1.6, default settings
50s r, 44s u
gegl-0.1.6, BABL_TOLERANCE=0.004
46s r, 39s u
gegl-0.1.6, BABL_TOLERANCE=0.004, GEGL_SWAP=RAM
41s r, 39s u (memuse peaks at 1.8gb)
+ 8-bit PNG output
38s r, 36s u
I'm puzzled as to why 8-bit output makes so little difference, you'd
think there would be rather a large improvement. I experimented with
GeglNode::dont_cache but I wasn't able to bring memuse down without
slowing the program horribly.
I'm still not certain I'm hitting the fast BABL path though, if I run
in callgrind I see 56m calls to pow(), 10% of total run time. 56m is
roughly output image size * 3, if that helps track it down.
