Perf optimizations
With the --fast
flag gifski
is now about as quick as ffmpeg
in wall-clock time*, but still generates files that are smaller and look better at the same time. *(tested on M1 CPU, so YMMV)
The latest version performs LZW encoding of frames in parallel, and avoids using most of gifsicle
codebase except the lossy LZW compression part. PNG decompression and resizing now also run on a threadpool even when used via gifski
's C API.
gifski
can now make a good use of 8 CPU cores, which a serious overengineering of the sequential GIFs encoding, but I'm using Rust, so I just had to throw multi-threading at every problem.
