I was just saying that we where giving up because, in our case the cost was bigger than the benefit. However, we rely strongly on hardware acceleration, so we don't control completely our rendering pipeline, and images can vary by a huge amount (eg when the z-ordering is screwed up). You can always design more robust test by proper analysis of the images, but that could also be a PhD research program :). I am not saying MPL shouldn't be going down that way, though.
