Hey /hr/, quick question. Are there any good programs that one can use to trace bitmaps( like Inkscape) that make use of multiple cores? Inkscape blazes through the first 200 or so traces, but then gets bogged down at the last 3 or 4, and one processor is just idling while the other one is working like crazy. I KNOW I could do it ridiculously quickly if both cores could be used, but Inkscape doesn't seem to be doing it.

Pic related.

Try reading the first sentence after "quick question" and you'll get the question. It's really not that hard...
Also, the image is just showing the problem in effect. It's just a screen shot, I just didn't want to make a thread and end it with "pic unrelated".

Vectoring something does not make it fucking high-res.
I'm sick of seeing people post vectors they did in place of actual high-resolution screenshots/scans/etc. If I wanted a fucking trace, I can do it myself - so your shitty-ass vectors are FUCKING WORTHLESS.
What's to stop me from taking a 100x100px image and vectoring it into 10000x10000px and posting it here? It won't actually BE high-res, because it's still just a fucking 100x100 PIECE OF SHIT, only now it's slightly smoother and a trillion times larger than it needs to be. Sounds like a waste of time to me.
Anyway, fucking cut it out, you whores.

For some reason, the Linux version of Inkscape is vastly faster than the Windows version. Have you considered dual booting?

I just downgraded a client's computer to XP Pro 64 from Vista Ultimate 64. The computer went from mediocre to loading windows before that scrolling bar goes across once. Kernel uses half the page files and RAM as Vista. WTF does vista do that takes that much extra resources?

As for the OP. I know Photoshop is written to take advantage of multicores, so along that line Illustrator might be able to do what you are looking for. But I know the auto-tracer in illustrator is notoriously poor (or at least it was, haven't heard much about CS3) and I am not for sure it will do what you want. Something you might be able to look into though.

Why are you doing bulk autotraces in the first place?

I know of a program that is better than inkscape, but I saw how you bitched out someone who tried to help you.

you're an asshole.
