Tesseract 4.1 disabled openmp support by default - What does it mean?

[Sarath C P]

Hi, we were using Tesseract4.0 in my previous problem. It was giving a good performance when giving  os.environ['OMP_THREAD_LIMIT'] = '1'.

We are planning to upgrade this Tesseract4.1. In the release notes I can see an announcement like" Disable OpenMP support by default"

What does it mean?

1. Does it mean we don't need to take care of this OMP_THREAD_LIMIT? it is in default single threaded execution. But why then performance issue while comparing with tesseract 4.0?

Well technically it seems that is what they try to mean - they removing the openmp that was used cuz anyways it was not giving any good results as such.
