Are you reading the image over a network connection? If so, your network speed is the bottleneck. Download your file locally before processing.

Also, check out the convol function. I expect it to take much less time than 1.5 hours that you are reporting.

However, the complexity seems to be rising much quicker than that, an 962x722 image with a 30x29 kernel takes ~16 hours (with profiler on), whereas a 640x480 image with the same kernel takes ~1.5 hours.

However, time+sub(ms) reports taking only ~100ms. I was under the impression that Time+sub should always include time self, no? In any case, I don't think read_png should be taking nearly 16 hours to read a 700,000 pixel image.
