Widely varied search times #91

I have 2 folders each containing about 3k images, all of the same size (50x50px). One folder takes about 2-3 seconds to search, while the other takes ~20 seconds. The first returns about 15 matches, while the second returns about 30.

Would the result size explain the widely different search time?

Hi @CameronSima,

I'm not sure what the exact reason is for these differences, as I would need more details around the dataset used. Nonetheless, I would recommend to try the new release of difPy v4.1.0 which comes with some improvements to the comparison algorithm.

Thanks, Elise
