It seems to copy the whole pictures into memory, renaming them and rewriting them on the disk. I tried to rename about 300 pictures on a 600 mHz-PC, it took almost 30 minutes to finish and made the PC unusable for that time. If I had used a Ruby (or similar) script it would have taken less then 5 seconds. I tried KRename and it performed also very fast. I don't know if this is related: the newly named files all had a wrong date (1.1.1960).
