A package of 1000 rle2 textures could take around 2 hours or more. With sharpening enabled, conversion will be slow. In cases where sharpening has made a big improvement in a texture you may want to try unchecking it and generating new mipmaps. Leaving this option checked will be slightly faster and retain the quality of original textures in the mipmaps. Use existing mipmaps - starting in version 2.2, if this option is checked the tool will keep existing mipmaps if possible.The drawback is that any black and white or gray clothing and skin details may not be sharpened. The benefit is that sharpening may cause banding in some shadows which might be visible. If checked, the tool will attempt to identify shadow textures and not sharpen them.

It may be useful if converting packages that contain clothing/hair/accessory textures but no CASPs as when converting EA game packages. Don't sharpen grayscale - starting in version 2.2 the tool uses the CASP in CC packages to identify the shadow textures, so this option should normally be left unchecked.Strength of sharpening makes no difference in speed.

With the 32-bit version you're likely to get out-of-memory errors when converting very large packages. Pet textures are automatically resized correctly.
