Hi there, there's the 'see 1' thing in VIPS testing, it says the following: "Pillow is single-threaded, so the fairest comparison for raw processing speed would be against vips-1thread."

  That's true, are the pillow-perf benchmarks parallelised at all?

  Can you please comment if pillow-SIMD works with Windows at this point? I was trying to make it work with py2.7 as I needed very fast image processing tools (for something that works real-time) and my experience was that pillow-SIMD does not work with Windows. It appeared at first that an Anaconda package would make it work but even that doesn't work because of various dependency issues.

    It looks like it should, there's an installer here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ But there's also a bug here: https://github.com/uploadcare/pillow-simd/issues/9 https://github.com/uploadcare/pillow-simd/issues/9 If you're using open source software like Python I'd really recommend either leaving Windows, using the bash subsystem or running a Linux VM though. Most of the open source ecosystem lives on *nix and you'll rarely find people who port their projects to Windows.

      I would love to switch, but unfortunately the field of medical research is windows everywhere (high speed andor cameras, spectrometers, microscope stages, virtually everything needs windows).

        Unless the Python is actually interacting with that hardware you should be able to get along much better with Windows' Linux subsystem or a VM still.
