Mine is currently a whopping 367MB
I shoot high school and club soccer and thought I had a lot but 175mb is small compared to your 367mb. But I see no adverse conditions when adding another session of 500-1k shots. Perhaps you are fighting hardware limitations, I am using an i7 w/36gb. I do see a 1-2 minute delay of dt while it does it's import and assignment of session tags but I am able to invoke 2 or 3 more imports while the first is processing. It just extends the heavy load on dt for a longer time. gud luk, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users
