[Gdal-dev] performance issue with gdal_translate...

[John Cole]

I'm creating a tiled geotif on a large jpg file

gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "TILED=YES" madison_1f_01.jpg madison_1f_01.tif

Input file size is 44400, 42600

Gdal_translate is working, but it's really slow and only using 0.5% of
memory (according to top).

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 4350 root      25   0 65228  22m 6252 R  100  0.5   2:18.82 gdal_translate

Since I have a decent system for this, I was wondering what --config
switches I could use to speed this up?

I'm running Fedora Core 5 on a dual xeon 3ghz with 4GB of memory.

Thanks,

John Cole
