title: Feh Profiling, Image Caching
---

<p>
<a href='http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/'>Tom (giblet)</a> and I spent the afternoon working on image and profile caching in <a href='http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/'>Feh</a>.  In the process we did some profiling and ran across a few bottlenecks.  At the moment the image and pixmap caching isn't stable at all, but if you want to play with it, <a href='/download/feh_image_caching-2.diff'>here's</a> the diff.  It's against the latest <acronym title='Concurrent Versioning System'>CVS</acronym> (which has the other speed improvements already).

<b>Update:</b> 
You'll also need to drop <a href='/download/feh_cache_hc.tar.gz'>these
files</a> in <code>feh/src</code> in order to get the beast to compile.
