OCR again

[DPaul]

For cpu intensive task why not use additional cores?

Hi, anything to make it go faster!
But this may be a bit complicated ?
What is CPU intensive ? I just checked , and the CPU usage goes to 15 % and stays there,
while doing the OCR on 10 documents, one after the other.

The above posts have made it possible to conclude that only one IO operation is needed: i.e. read the compressed tif(s) , one by one.
The rest happens in memory.
The results of the OCR are later on written to file, but that is peanuts.

The only possible saving is in the processing , currently between 1.5 to 2 seconds a scan.
Should i use multiple threads ?
thx,
Paul
