I hope you didn't mind me using it... I've been using it to discover how the 
isosurface works in use.  It seemed a good file to use as a benchmark.

It does appear that V3.7 does use a different default value for 
assumed_gamma which explains the lightness of the image... However the file 
extension problem has been confirmed as a bug, but no-one has explained the 
60% speed decrease!

BTW I use the ssc4 image as a windows wallpaper... so simple yet beautiful!
