If you rename pictures the script isn't simply using the "mv" command or similar tools. It seems to copy the whole pictures into memory, renaming them and rewriting them on the disk.
I tried to rename about 300 pictures on a 600 mHz-PC, it took almost 30 minutes to finish and made the PC unusable for that time.
If I had used a Ruby (or similar) script it would have taken less then 5 seconds. I tried KRename and it performed also very fast.

I don't know if this is related: the newly named files all had a wrong date (1.1.1960).
