I think an absolute measurement could still be useful, e.g., how many
seconds does it take to load or save a file of so many megapixels and so
many megabytes, and what clock rate does your machine run at? That's enough
to get a crude estimate of comparable speed. Obviously, it's not a really
accurate comparison, but when it comes to writing JPEG2000, there is a 10:1
speed difference between the Adobe and LuraWave plugins. I'm just wondering
if PSP's implementation is reasonably quick, like LuraWave, or a real dog
like Adobe. A quick test on one large sample image would be sufficient.
I did my test with 10:1 lossy compression, on a 5 megapixel 16bpc image
(that is, converting a 30MB TIFF down to a 3MB JP2), running on a 1.7GHz
Pentium 4, and got 11 seconds for LuraWave, and 2 minutes for Adobe. How
does PSP stack up to that?
