Those aren't bad numbers, certainly better than I expected them to be. 
Nonetheless if Qt takes around 6,000 the Imlib based code with MMX will take 
about 1,000 and without around 3000. If your numbers are right, tho, this 
does confirm for me that we should be using your code at least for high 
quality smoothscaling.

Well, it is smoothscaling. I don't know about Kuickshow but I assume it's 
using Imlib smoothscaling. You just don't like the quality of Qt and Imlib 
smoothscaling ;-) That's okay, I'm not really arguing with you here. It's not 
supposed to be high quality it's supposed to be as fast as possible while 
producing okay, (but not great), results. Please read my previous mail.

No.

As for the code, I can post the MImage effect stuff to the list if you want 
it, I'd just like to get confirmation that it's okay to post big C++ files. 
If your upset my not quoting emails I dunno how people will feel about big 
a*s code attachments ;-) Otherwise I can send it to you personally. I don't 
have a site.
