Original title:Can I speed up EBV readng avif files?
Using 1.5.0.1407a x64
Even with pausing media stuff's instance a bunch, it still seems to have managed to have read at least 100K audio and video files in the same time image stuff instance has read 15K avif files. I have 5mil files to index and of those 33K are known avif files, but I've come across avif files with other extensions so it could be a lot more. I don't pause Image Stuff as much because all the avif reading causes it to never go above 3% CPU usage normally. It still causes a minor lag while running video games but depending on game it's fine to keep on. Media Stuff usually sits around 13%-15% so that one I have to pause more.
Around 22K avif files seems to have taken 10 days.
Is it because of the GPU? RTX 2060 doesn't have hardware support for AV1, I don't think.
I figured it was a CPU task, that EBV never uses the GPU for reading properties.
Is it software support for EBV, as in you have to add that sort of support?
It has been nice because of the low CPU usage I can usually run it when the system is otherwise using most of the CPU like video games. Sometimes it would be nice to run a task with less than 3% CPU usage..But mostly I've found you can only lower in threads which is 8% each in my case. Even if you can like with supposedly https://mion.yosei.fi/BES/, if the system isn't designed to handle it maybe it can break things..or do nothing at all.
I guess one possibility is to limit multiple programs into the same thread. Then they have to fight over it![😈]()
...But that's already the case, I don't limit every program so programs that are free to use any threads, particularly system components, will already be fighting over the first few threads as I understand it Windows goes from thread 0 to max when assigning work.
