Hello,

i'm in the process of managing my music collection with git-annex. The initial "git annex add" using the sha1 banckend is quite long an i was wondering that it could be nice to launch multiple "sha1sum" processes in parallel to speed up things.

Anyway, thanks for this wonderful piece of software.

closing as dup of parallel possibilities (also see comments below) done --Joey

I'd expect the checksumming to be disk bound, not CPU bound, on most systems.

I suggest you start off on the WORM backend, and then you can run a job later to migrate to the SHA1 backend.
