Is that still a bottleneck? Maybe I should do some real profiling when I get 
my tree running again. The code looks pretty optmized now that we use the 
iterators to write the mask.

Not yet necessary, I think. I know the Gimp uses some assembly code to do the 
actual compositing of rgb images, but those are really small bits. Our main 
problem is still that it is expensive to actually get a pixel and write a 
pixel, I guess.
