I've read a few articles talking about the algorithms taking days to analyze and compile the photosynth data. It simply sounds like that code can only be optimized so much. I'm personally have not been that impressed with Photosynth. The idea and implementation is impressive, but I don't think it's ever going to be optimized for any common usage. Surely MS can do better than that. Photosynth seems like a giant pipe dream. I’ve read a few articles talking about the algorithms taking days to analyze and compile the photosynth data.
