(kind of).
Let’s give a look inside the luce engine.
Luce heavily uses multithreading. Its aim is to parallelize every single step that can get some advantage from this.
So while a picture is being loaded, the corresponding texture for the previuos picture is created. Also, every image can be processed as soon as it is loaded. The loading thread goes in the background and gives data to the next step of luce’s pipeline.
We have dual-, quad-, core microprocessors but this functionality is not fully used by our softwares. Luce already hits about 25% (two threads on average on my 8-threads CPU) during the first phase, when most of the images are processed, but I plan to go further.
