pix_multiblob is not the most efficient code but it should run at that low resolution.&nbsp; Where did you get the GEM binary?&nbsp; It could be built without optimization.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/11/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I made a 400x300 motion JPEG-a movie 15 fps with 5 solid blue circles moving on a black background<br>to test pix_mutiblob. I open it up with pix_film, flip it with pix_flip and send it to pix_multiblob.&nbsp;&nbsp;I suddenly<br>notices PD getting very, very slow.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I look at the cpu usage in activity monitor (if you can believe
<br>activity monitor) I get 100-104% cpu usage.&nbsp;&nbsp;I cant do anything else in PD because PD gets so slow.&nbsp;&nbsp;I<br>am using a dual 2Ghz G5 with ATI Radeon 9800 XT and 3GB of internal memory.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this normal? What<br>can I do to lower cpu usage?&nbsp;&nbsp;What else can I use within Gem to get the same results? I eventually want
<br>to be able to track 20-30 objects but It looks like it would be imposible at this rate.<br>Thanks,<br>Alain<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="mailto:PD-list@iem.at" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
