Cull Me uP

Performance Lab

Real-world speed for real-world folders: ingest, RAW decoding, grid display and culling fluidity.

Performance in motion

Speed protects attention.

Performance is not a benchmark for its own sake. In culling, speed keeps the photographer inside the shoot — looking at images, not waiting for software.

The Performance Lab is where the numbers meet the gesture: opening a large RAW set, making the grid usable, moving through photos, rejecting obvious misses and keeping momentum.

Performance Lab

Large folders should still feel light.

Two short benchmark videos belong here: one for ingest, one for culling through a large RAW folder. The table gives context. The videos should make the result obvious.

Internal benchmark screenshot showing classic decoding, CMP standard decoding and CMP turbo decoding for RAW folders

Internal grid benchmark capture. Replace with cleaner public Lab visuals when the final demo set is ready.

1,418 RAW 34.54 sec CMP Turbo

Large-folder benchmark, compared with 104.74 sec using a classic decoding path.

153 RAW 2.28 sec CMP Turbo

A 17.86 sec classic grid-opening path reduced to 2.28 sec in the current test set.

3× to 15×+ faster RAW grid display

A performance claim to support with real videos, real files and clear context.

Early internal measurements. Camera files, device generation, storage speed, preview availability, cache state and folder structure affect results. The goal is not a synthetic benchmark; the goal is to keep the photographer in the flow.

Fluidity demos

Show the interface moving, not just the numbers.

Prepare two proof videos. One gesture, one result. No theatrical editing: show the wait, show the movement, show the folder becoming usable.

LAB-A · Ingest benchmark

From card to review, without unnecessary drag.

Show opening and preparing a large RAW set. This video should prove that the first step does not already feel heavy.

LAB-B · Large RAW culling benchmark

Move through a heavy folder and keep the rhythm.

Show real culling movement in a large RAW folder: grid, full-screen review, Pick / Reject / Maybe, and fluid navigation.

Context

Performance depends on real conditions.

Camera files, preview availability, storage speed, device generation and cache state all matter. That is why the Lab should show real folders and real movement, not only synthetic numbers.

The performance goal is not to win a table. The goal is to make the first pass feel immediate enough that the photographer keeps looking at images, not waiting for software.

Performance media slots

Two benchmark videos to prepare.

Use these two slots for the main performance proof videos on this page.

LAB-A

Performance protects attention.

When the interface keeps up, the photographer stays with the image.
