Performance saving multiple tiff files

I am using Graphics Mill for .net 3.5 (I have not yet upgraded to 4.0) and I have a particular piece of code where I write many thousands of tiff images to a directory. It does not matter wheater the image is complex or simple I seem to be limited in the number of files per minute I can write. At present with three parallel processes I can achieve aproximately 1200 mages per minute. I am using a main loop and write each image with the standard:

bmp2.Save(bitmapname, tiffEncoder);

Can anyone suggest a faster way ?

Will version 4.0 be faster?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Dmitry. I will try the tiffwriter suggestion although I think I have done it already. I am afraid to ask when will be the next release?

Icvilla,

I've found that compressing TIFF files (e.g. LZW compression) speeds up saving them to disk.
