Alpine much slower?

See original GitHub issue

Using identical hardware & configuration, I’m seeing a 3-4x perf drop switching from centos.

concurrency: 4
simd: true
cache: false

vips 8.6.3-r0

Anyone else experience this slowness?

On a positive note, memory usage was drastically improved (by ~10x).

webp is easy to build and has quite a lot of options, like some ASM stuff, so I think I would experiment with making my own alpine package. It should be possible to tune it up a bit.

webp is rather a young, immature library, so you can also expect dramatic speed changes between minor versions.

Closing since this isn’t a sharp issue it seems. Thanks
