Re: need help making shell script use two CPUs/cores

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/#speed

The above doc provides hints on how to speed-up image magick operations.

Note that multi-threading should be automatically used whether possible,
as per this paragraph:

***
# IM by default uses multiple threads for image processing operations.
That means you can have the computer do two or more separate threads of
image processing, it will be faster than a single CPU machine.
***

I'm afraid you will have to find out whether your IM package was compiled
with multi-threading capablities.

I'm using the i386 Lenny package. Obviously it wasn't, or it would be
working, and it is not.

No script ideas Camaleón? You're not a script kiddie?
