Using Qgis 1.4.0, for Mac OS X 10.6, downloaded from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis I find that, at start up, the .qgs project file for my 70 MB GIS project keeps the CPU 99% busy for 4 minutes, the .qgs project file for my 700 MB GIS project keeps the CPU 99% busy for 8 minutes, and th

Same setup as Greg (my binaries), takes a few minutes to open. A thought - gdalinfo on the jp2 tiles uses the ECW JP2 driver, which is a plugin on the Mac, but I wonder if the vrt is ignoring plugins and using the builtin jasper driver (slow). On Jan 21, 2010, at 2:35 PM, Peter Ersts wrote: >

My GDAL gdalinfo uses the hardware accelerated Kakadu based JPEG2000 code, which is up to 10 times faster than the software based Jasper based JPEG2000 code. So, why then does it take me with the faster GDAL Kakadu JPEG2000 the same time, several minutes, it takes William with the slower GDAL Ja

I said that I disabled the ECW JP2 plugin and it took *longer* than my previous test. That is, using the Jasper driver takes much longer than the 3-5 min with ECW (for me) or Kakadu (for you). On Jan 21, 2010, at 8:53 PM, Greg Coats wrote: > My GDAL gdalinfo uses the hardware accelerated Kakad

Giovanni, Is this what you are experiencing? When the .qgs project file opens for you in a few seconds, rather than in a few minutes, as reported by Tom Elwertowski and John Tull, are the raster layers invisible? Greg On Jan 21, 2010, at 5:23 PM, Tom Elwertowski wrote: > Marco Hugentobler wrote
