Hi,
I wrote this console utility app in 5 minutes. All it is supposed to do, is iterate over *.jpg images (65 at the moment) in a folder (no recursive searches), and generate a snipped of HTML that I need to paste into my wives website.
I first thought my utility app is in some recursive loop or something because the output didn't appear instantly - like I thought it would.
I added some debug output between the generate HTML. To my surprise the FPImage code reading a 35Kb jpg file takes +- 8 seconds and a 65KB file takes +- 30 seconds - on a Quad Core machine! WTF???
Is this normal? Is FPImage really that slow reading small roughly 650x450 pixel jpg images? Or am I doing something unbelievably stupid? :-/
The reason I'm reading in the jpg files is so I can get their Width and Height values. Avg. jpeg file sizes are between 35-45KB, and largest file size is 65KB.
Here is the relevant code snippet....
var
imgreader: TFPReaderJPEG;
stream: TFileStream;
img:TFPCustomImage;....
writeln('processing file: ', filelist[i]);
stream := TFileStream.Create(filelist[i], fmOpenRead);
writeln(1);
imgreader := TFPReaderJPEG.Create;
writeln(2, FormatDateTime(' hh:mm:ss.zz', Now) + ' (start reading)');
img := imgreader.ImageRead(stream, nil);
writeln(3, FormatDateTime(' hh:mm:ss.zz', Now) + ' (done)');Here is the program output... Note the timestamps between start reading and done reading (lines marked with '2' and '3').
