Why setting throttle value doesn't work

Post by slirek »

Hi!
I try slow down ImageMagick cause of CPU usage is too big.
1) I set environment variable MAGICK_THROTTLE = 50, then call "convert.exe -list resource" in cmd. Result: throttle = 0
2) Ok. I remove variable and edit policy.xml: <policy domain="resource" name="throttle" value="50"/> Result is same.

Note: setting other variable works ok.

OS: windows 7 64, IM: 6.8.4-10 portable. (also I tried 6.8.5-Q8-x86-static)

Thanks
