Silverlight 4.0 - speed of image resize and compression

Question

Hi,

I looked through the earlier posts on the topic but did not find a clear idea for solution.

My dilemma is as following:

I have built a Silverlight 4.0 application for processing images on the client side (resizing and compression) before moving them to the database via web service. It works fairly well, I use FluxJpeg library for achieving desired processing.

The problem though is stress testing. In production environment I expect really large images to be processed (straight from the digital camera) and in large quantities. With large files (3 MB +) and large quantities (20+), my Silverlight app takes lot of time to process images and move binaries to database.

If you encountered anything similar in your Silverlight development and have an idea how to speed it up please share, I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Have you tried enabling GPU acceleration for the Silverlight control?
