Hm, there's still no idea floating around how to benchmark.
I'd rather have some microbenchmark that delivers
reproducible results than only being able to say "hey, it
feels faster"...
It think this writing some GIMPbench would be a nice
volunteer job and hey, if you do it, you'll get to choose
the benchmark methods and all the fame... ;)
