Certainly! My goal is purely speed (and of course accuracy, simplicity doesn't hurt either) in the conversion. I believe (with no direct evidence to back this up) that more time is spent in the OS if I have to execute 2 binaries compared to one, and the pipe between the programs is slower and more resource consuming then the in-memory data array the one program solution would use. Otherwise you have a few unnecessary data arry copies. We may be talking in the 10-100ms range, but that's still time I'd like to have the CPU spend doing other things.
