Either way, the build is old and not going to get much more use so it doesn't matter.
I've now found some 4320x3240 jpegs on my server (typically 5.0 MB). That's slightly fewer pixels than yours, and perhaps your files are quite a bit bigger. For me, opening a random single jpeg with 'display' takes a second or so on current svn. You're right, the option to resize from 'display' has gone , but the 'restore' option is still there (at least in 6.7.8-6) . This is x86_64 with almost 4GB memory [ the VGA takes a little ] and it wasn't heavily used, just running the coreutils testsuite [ -j 1 ]. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
