Extension question

Ooh, that looks nice. The image can be up to (and probably more than)
10,000x10,000 pixels though... that's a heck of a lot of memory. And
converting the data in Ruby would take a long time, I believe. Too
many iterations.

I was hoping Ara Howard would stick his head in here, but I'll just
mention that he's doing some very performance intensive image
processing using ruby/mmap and narray. I don't know the details, but
I'd certainly give those two tools a look.

HTH,


Nathaniel
