[Bug-ddrescue] speed up ddrescue

[kylon]

hi,

first of all, thanks for your hard work

i m trying to make an iso of a damaged hdd(160Gb, buffer I/O err) that contains all my files, projects etc.., so i need it as soon as possible

i would like to know if i can speed up ddrescue somehow

my current specs: ubuntu 13.04 x64, i7  4-cores and a custom linux 3.10 kernel for better performances + ddrescue 1.17 stable

an option to select how many cores to use would be appreciated

it is really slow, i know that these things take times, but i have a good pc so i think i can do this in less time

thanks
