Hello,
I recently updated from RT 5.12-7 to 5.12-26. Because startup lasted much longer than usual, I reverted to 5.12-7.
Today I tried 5.12-30 which is also super slow. Image processing takes about twice as long as before. Renaming the cache directory also did not help.
Might this be a general error or is it my old Intel Xeon CPU?
Forgot to mention the OS: Win10 64 bit
There are two other dev versions between those. Maybe you can try them to see which version it started being slow?
RawTherapee_dev_5.12-8-g9f9b6ede8: Wavelet levels - crash with Highlight threshold in residual image (#7… · RawTherapee/RawTherapee@9f9b6ed · GitHub
RawTherapee_dev_5.12-12-g8ad934430: Merge pull request #7266 from Lawrence37/embedded-xmp-color-label · RawTherapee/RawTherapee@8ad9344 · GitHub
Also make sure you didn’t accidentally download the debug versions.
Thank you @Lawrence37 !
Will try tomorrow
Version 5.12-8 runs at normal speed, 5.12-12 is slow.
During startup the program uses one CPU core by 100%
Try this one. I’ve removed the change introduced in 5.12-12. This will tell us if it’s a problem with the code or something in the build process.
Unfortunately, this build is just as slow as version 12.
This evening I can try on another hardware to make sure it isn’t an incompatibility issue with my old computer
I think, I am absolutely not a specialist in compilation, nor in Github, msys2, etc. that this is a problem related to a recent update of Msys/mingw64…
I make updates via ‘pacman -Syu’, about every 3 weeks or 1 month. I did the last one a few days ago and since then, whatever the code (I tried on a code from 6 months ago - gamutcompress) when compiling, there is a significant slowdown when launching - then it seems pretty much the same (I haven’t checked with measurements).
So, to be verified by other users, but it seems that a ‘package’ update is responsible - which one - I have no idea.
@Lawrence37 , @jdc thanks for your time!
I just started build -30 on a newer system running on Win11. There it showed the same behaviour
I will have a look into MSYS2 and see what changed.
