#1. k2pdfopt stores its settings in
environment variables.
#2. The only place where I could easily apply parallelization/multithreading was with OCR, which I did (starting with v2.4x). The rest of the operation is very sequentially dependent and therefore difficult to do in parallel. I could have k2pdfopt do chapters of the book in parallel, for example, since they would logically each start on a fresh output page, but I would need to add some kind of library functionality to merge multiple PDF files or internal structures together, which I don't presently have, and I would have to implement some kind of "new chapter" detection mechanism (or force the user to specify the pages). There was a
past discussion on this in this thread.
For now: (1) k2pdfopt generates output far faster than it can be read, (2) the user can use the -p option to manually run k2pdfopt in parallel on different sections of a source file and later manually join them, and (3) k2pdfopt is easily batched to run on multiple files overnight. Therefore adding more multithreading is a low priority for me. Of course, k2pdfopt is also open source, so you are welcome to contribute!
