Newer versions also have the ability to run some stages on multiple CPU
cores (with the -openmp cores flag) which speeds certain stages (e.g. in
autorecon2) up considerably. I'm also sure Bruce wouldn't turn down more
resources to hire the programmers needed to make it faster either!
Peace,
Matt.

Hi Tanya
we have always preferenced minimizing manual interactions over computer
time. It takes so long because of its level of automation and its
completeness. This is also why it is so widely used I assume - because it
generates a comprehensive, accurate and automated morphometric assay of
the
human brain. Seems like waiting a few extra hours to get something
complete, automated and accurate isn't a big deal.

Hi,
I would like to ask that why does the Freesurfer takes so much time for
processing particularly autorecon2 ?
Knowing that Freesurfer takes a lot of time for processing, why is it
still
used widely by researchers ? For segmentation followed by volume
calculation
, does one has to really wait for hours for the results?
Thank you
