Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: soundconverter
With multi-core CPUs becoming more and more common, soundconverter
should be able to split the queue up to convert a file on each core. I
currently do this by opening two copies of soundconverter for optimal
use with my Core 2 Duo, where I simply put half the files on each
instance of the program. This gives a major performance boost, as it
obviously completes twice as fast for dual core users, four times as
fast for quad core, etc.
This shouldn't be difficult to implement. The program could simply
detect the number of CPUs/cores on a machine and convert that number of
files at a time in concurrent processes. As each core finishes its work,
it gets handed the next file in the queue. This would be a great feature
to see for Intrepid ;-)
