Some of you may not be aware that development GraphicsMagick 1.3 is 
being updated to use OpenMP so that processing is done in parallel on 
systems with multiple CPU cores.  This can result in quite a speed-up 
on new systems.  Quite a few algorithms experience linear speed-up as 
processor cores are added.

Read about GraphicsMagick and OpenMP at 
"http://www.graphicsmagick.org/www/OpenMP.html".  The News page at 
"http://www.graphicsmagick.org/www/NEWS.html" is updated periodically 
to list the algorithms updated for OpenMP, as well as any other 
improvements.
