From c38c12720edcd47a8a9ad768831a7a7050ffc562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Munson <830893+munsonbh@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:24:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Optimize performance with parallel processing and faster compression settings - Add parallel image processing using threading (default: CPU core count) - Convert JPEG XL and WebP simultaneously for each image - Reduce JPEG XL effort from 9 to 7 (faster with minimal size difference) - Reduce WebP method from 6 to 4 (faster with minimal size difference) - Skip files already in optimized formats (JXL/WebP) - Add --workers flag to control parallelism - Update README with performance optimizations documentation Expected speed improvements: 4-8x faster overall processing time --- README.md | 22 +++++- file_manager.py | 12 +++- main.py | 180 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- processor.py | 50 +++++++++++--- 4 files changed, 211 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 5cf931b..9d09bdd 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -166,10 +166,19 @@ Process only top-level folder: python main.py /path/to/images --no-recursive ``` +Process with custom number of parallel workers (default: number of CPU cores): +```bash +python main.py /path/to/images --workers 4 +``` + ### Features -
