[Digikam-users] Can I make re-read of albums a bit faster? (solved, more or less...)

[Daniel Bauer]

So, I closed all other tasks, re-niced the digikam process and gave it 
maximum priority in cpu and disk. This made it much, but MUCH!, faster. 
It finished within few Minutes. I didn't have to wait for the next 
century, hurray :-)

I have 16GB mem and a quite fast processor. It did not use swap. I have 
the feeling that it was the disk access that made it so extremely slow. 
Don't know, but after giving digikam maximum disk access, I heard the 
disk working hard, while usually I don't hear it.

Well, for me the problem is solved for the moment, but maybe it would be 
a good idea to check if this part of the program could be optimized 
somehow....

With thanks for a great tool to the developers and the best wishes for a 
great new year to all of you,

Daniel
