I am attempting to write out 386 geotiffs and each is over 1.5 Gbs in size. It's taking about 15mins to write out each file. I am using parallel processing however when looking at task manager it seems that only 1 CPU is running / writing at a time. I'm looking for some authoring critique or insight as to what i can do to speed up the process. The workflow is attached as well as a screenshot of task manager

Hi @clindsey

1. Use a FeatureWriter instead of the Writer - this will make FME start to write the file at once instead of keeping all data in memory

2. Use the WorkspaceRunner on each file: https://www.safe.com/transformers/workspace-runner/
