do you mean to say that the time does not scale linearly with the size? for
example instead of a 100 pixel image taking 1 second, a 200 pixel image
taking 2 seconds, a 300 pixel taking 3 seconds it's more like 100:1,
200:2.5, and 300:6.25 or something?

i don't know what i'm talking about. just trying to figure out what you're
talking about ;)
