Thank you for the answer, that helped me a lot already. Just one more question. 
Have you tested the performance saving also with big images e.g. 2000 x 2000 
pixels or bigger?

Betreff: Re: Binary Images using SetImage

I don't have the answers to your questions but we pass a binary image
to Tesseract like you do, with values set to either 0 or 255.
Tesseract will threshold the image so we experiment with modifying
Tesseract to short-circuit the thresholding for performance reasons -
but then realized the performance saving is minimal in this case and
we are not doing that any longer.
