I'm wondering how CPU configurations affect groff processing speed.
Groff consumes very little time, even when it is used to format a 200 page documents with tables, graphs, pictures, and so on. 30 years on a Motorola 68000, I sat and waited a minute or so for it to do big documents. Not any more.
I'm also interested in bitmap editing (gimp) and batch processing of bitmaps using convert (imagemagick) or python, but groff is my main concern. Any advice?
Your bitmap processing is likely to be the a bigger consumer of CPU time. Without details of what you are doing in Python, I cannot comment.
