It will almost certainly increase the speed. That’s not at all the same as saying that it is worth it, or that the speed increase will be significant.<BR>
<BR>
Your disks are the slowest part of the process. Please describe in detail both the input and the output disk subsystems you are using for your gdalwarp process. Then we can see if that’s the first place to look.<BR>

<BR>
Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Will increasing the RAM on a server increase the speed of gdalwarp?<BR>
<BR>
If I have a server that currently has 4 gigs of RAM and I increase the RAM to say 75 gigs will I notice a difference in the speed of processing a 75 gig image via gdalwarp? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
