Question About Performance / Usage about jimp HOT 3 CLOSED

It's intended for production.

The use case is for when image libraries with native dependencies (such as node-gd or imagemagick) are either not possible or undesirable. Alternatively, you could say that those libraries are for when this one is undesirable. Because this library has no native dependencies, it is always possible.

With regards to actual performance and desirability, that's a question for your precise use case. A quick test on my MacBook Air:

• Open a file, resize it, save it: 90ms
• Open a file then cloned it, resized it and saved it 10,000 times: about 15 minutes (or 90ms × 10,000)

If that suits by your needs then that suits your needs.
