Hi Rafael, please be aware that there is a project that makes the whole compositor multi-processor (and multi-device) aware. Any development with the purpose to submit it back to trunk would not be worth the investment. The compositor project is located on http://ocl.atmind.nl/doku.php?id=design:proposal:compositor-redesign Here you can find details about what the ideas are. If you want to learn more about the project, you can contact me.
I have did some tests with openmp on the old compositor, but the speed-gain was limitted due to system behaviour.
