  • pavlov
    • attended cache design review meeting
    • got imglib2 decoding and rendering pngs from the html image frame. currently seeing about a 5x speedup loading and drawing images with more responsiveness while doing so. this is with all unoptimized code and some really lame hacks. I would expect to possibly double this number by the time we are ready.
