The standard version includes a mandatory break of 15 seconds between the processing of each picture and therefore is good for optimizing single pictures or a small amount of pictures in batch mode. For the automatic optimization of large quantities of pictures you should consider to purchase the professional version where the mandatory break has been removed.
