Short of writing a timing framework, I have no idea. It doesn't feel any
slower at all.

Ok, I figured as much from the maintainer-clean testing etc.. I will
push the patch.

I'm frantically trying to rework the image embedding code (which is
unfortunately requiring a reasonable amount of change to do cleanly), so
that can get into the next release.

Do I have you're approval to change the embedding format to base64
encoding of the raw image file? (This is backed with my usual argument
that no officially released versions have had this code working to the
point where images embedded in the old format could be read back.)

Peter B has some stuff queued up to ease the work of doing it, although
I did wonder if we should avoid making too much work for packagers if
there is going to be a new 1.4.0 soon. I guess we should see what the
users want, but you're right.. there hasn't been any complaining about
1.2.0.


BTW. I think there is a good argument for suggesting distro packagers
_do_ package 1.3.x, as there are changes which they might have useful
input on. It would be nice for 1.4.0 to walk into the world having the
distro build scripts all tested, as I expect the deadlines for the new
Ubuntu (my personal goal for 1.4.x) are going to race up quickly.

Best wishes,
