The image transformer used by the CAE and the CoreMedia Blueprint Studio has been optimized to render transformations of large images more efficiently.
One optimization was the introduction of a cache for images loaded into memory. This speeds up the transformation considerably if several variants of the same image are requested, as it is the case for image previews within Studio (where different variants of the source image are rendered), or on adaptive websites.
This cache is part of the imageTransformerInputAdapter bean. By default, a cache capacity of 100MB heap space is configured. See the Content Application Developer Manual for for information about this bean.
