It is my understanding that the default is
gdal_translate --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 40 ...
which equates to 40 MB of memory.
If you want to allow gdal_translate to use say 2 GB of memory for
GDAL_CACHEMAX, enter
gdal_translate --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 2000 ...
In my experience, increasing GDAL_CACHEMAX substantially speeds up
gdal_translate processing.

I also noticed both gdal_translate and gdal_retile not use the full
potential of my hardware. I'm running Vista 64Bit on a AMD3 2.6Ghz
quadcore with 8GB RAM and only 2-2.5GB RAM was used by
gdal_translate, leaving more than 5 GB free and only 35-55% of my
CPU was used. Do I need to set some settings to speed things up?
