1. Apple does not create temp files
Isn't that generally a disadvantage?
Why would it be (not creating temp files)? Seems sensible from here.
A better question is why, it appears, is ffmpeg making temp files and where
does it put them? If the files are created in the CWD and that's on a
spinning drive, it's going to be slow; OTOH if they're created in /tmp and
that's in a memory-resident file system it won't be much slower than just
keeping large buffers.
Anyway, different drives for source and output files is usually a very good
idea, as is a memory-resident /tmp file system (assuming you have the memory
to hold it). Another option is turn off atime on those file systems;
updating that can take up a lot of time and usually isn't useful.
Phil- I'm not sure I agree with you about temp files (in general), a lot
depends on the what/where/how-many files are being used.
Later,
z!
