Hello,
I work with 3D images, typically tiff files with many directories/slices. When saving these using gmic it takes a long while, minutes, to save the file in disk (400+ slices). If using compression then much longer, understandable. tiffcp does a very quick job writing and saving the file from slices, each on a file, with or without compression so I assume we don’t have a hardware/disk issue. Given that gmic uses libtiff, I assume, I would expect similar writing speeds, but this is not the case.
Is there any way to significantly speed up the tiff writing? Would I need to install gmic from source to achieve a speed up?

Thanks for your help.
