cgpdftoraster is multithreaded but there is some limit there. I’ve only seen it go to 4 or 5 threads and it’s bandwidth is limited. I’ve filed a bug report w/ Apple but no feedback. It’s a proprietary Apple cups filter basically. Linux has recently migrated to a faster filter and Apple itself uses something else now (Adobe used that) but not sure if that will be all that good w/ PT. It’s a huge issue with another program I ran at LightWork community lab called PaperCut. Render times are slow. It’s basically the thing that used to delay Photoshop in the 9600 days . . . . Roy can confirm this, but I think it’s how we get passed 90” print lengths with PrintTool (I’ve been doing up to 150 inches easily)?? basically, cgpdftoraster is old-school CUPs and it’s slow but super stable . . . . Actually it might be worth it to suck it up and be ok with spool times . . . best, Walker > On Feb 9, 2016, at 7:18 PM, richard@...
