Hi,
I uploaded a new beta. The most prominent changes are that the frames
macro, mp graphics, and scaling code has been cleaned up, sped up and
namespaced. of course some bug can have crept in. Don't expect wonders
with respect to speedup although it can make some difference when
multiple backgrounds, of large natural/extreme tables are used. Of
course raw output of pages (as with \dorecurse{1000}{test\page}) is not
really a good measure but at last the overhead gets more and more
minimized which is also good for tracing.
This version might also solve some of the reported problems with page
imposition (as the page-* modules are being cleaned up buglets cna be
introduced .. nothing really changes there apart from speedup and
namespacing).
