Just think of the downscale bug I reported a very long time ago. I have some (monochrome,huge) pictures that dont show anything if gimp scales them down. Some of these pictures have only every 2,3,4,.. pixel set. The simple gimp scale down algorithm is not suited for this. It has never been fixed and I dont have a 3000x2000 pixel screen to work on this pictures. I *have* to scale down and gimp is not really usable on these kind of pictures. And if you then try to work through a slow connection between your Xserver and the application server you find that everything is slower than it should be (because gimp does not work really on monochrome pictures? It seems it always throws color images to the Xserver..). It seems xv is faster in this case, maybe it does a smarter decision on how many colors it needs on the server. Perhaps one day we even have these problems fixed..:) ciao Carsten PS: Because I am no member of this mailing list please write to my email adress if you want to answer.Thanks, Keep on the good work!
