Just to give some idea of how much of a problem this is, I just did a test of the compile times: make touch src/libOpenImageIO/imagebufalgo.cpp time make gives 5.3s on my machine with the current master branch. *However* with the over branch, that blows out to a massive 66s! ~Chris _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
