My current development version of the client (not committed, yet) uses GD's trueColorToPalette() for quantizing of whole slices and PerlMagick to save tile files to disk instead of calling pngnq and pngcrush for each file. One tileset, which was 3.5 MB on the server is now 3.1 MB and took 30% less time to render than before.
I am using PerlMagick because I could not get GD to save indexed PNGs. Before committing that stuff I would like to know about the availability of PerlMagick for Windows. While there is a Windows Installer for ImageMagick on their website I did not see one for PerlMagick. Is there a convenient way for our Windows users to get PerlMagick onto their systems? I guess the difficulty is that any binary version depends on a specific Perl version.
