Performance
Reading DNG files and processing them to usable information is much more time-consuming compared to simple TIFF or PNG files.
To improve performance, keep the Shot/Enable Prefetch menu item on, and the Shot/Read 1f at a time menu item off. This will enable all the cores in your processor to work simultaneously to read frames.
Warning : if your images are located on a remote network drive, some networks have been found to not operate correctly when faced with many simultaneous requests, and you'll need to keep the files locally, or turn Shot/Read 1f at a time on.
You can also use SynthEyes's local disk caching capabilities, so that the DNG files are only read and converted once, then kept locally behind the scenes, preferably on a fast RAID or SSD disk.
