Package: imagemagick Version: 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-3~lenny1 Severity: important When using Gwenview, Digikam or other to create a mpeg slideshow from a group of photos, the encoding process is 2.58x slower than the Etch version, and it affects both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. When graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat is used instead of imagemagick, the encoding process returns to normal speed, but this breaks dvdauthor and other associated packages. I contacted the imagemagick discourse-server and got the following as part of the reply "Recent releases of ImageMagick address performance issues as well as adding support for OpenMP which permits algorithms to run simultaneously on multiple cores"
Compiling and installing imagemagick_6:4.7-10 from source gives a much better result, still not as fast as etch, but only 11% slower. Could the issue be a regression bug? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-mepis64-smp (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages imagemagick depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.17.dfsg-1 Color management library ii libmagick10 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-3~lenny1 image manipulation library ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.8.2-11 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime imagemagick recommends no packages. imagemagick suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
