Sure...and those programs (Flame, Fusion, etc) use full-frame buffers
which are massive memory hogs at high-res and take a long time to
update if you're doing anything complicated.
Like rotating an image 90deg it's just one of those operations which
doesn't fit well in a scanline architecture.
You can still do them, you just pay a price.

True that, but it obviously works in other softwares (which ever way
they do it).
In any case, a speedy normalised view of channels would be
appreciated as a native viewer feature.
I just published Howard's tool:

Hi Frank,
Not to a devil's advocate or anything...but calculating the min/max
of an image means sampling the entire image before a single pixel
can be drawn in the Viewer. Needless to say this will destroy Nuke's
update speed.
As long as that's understood as a side-effect of this feature, then
soldier on.

None of those solutions actually produce what we're after though
(some of your solutions seem to invert the input).
We need something that can compresses the input to a 0-1 range by
offsetting and scaling based on the image's min and max values (so
the resulting range is 0-1). You can totally do this with a Grade
or Expression node and a bit of tcl or python (or the CurveTool if
you want to pre-compute), but that's not efficient.
I reckon this should be a feature built into the viewer for
ease-of-use and speed.

Yes of course I can use VIEWER_INPUT or a
register a viewer process, but that wouldn't
make it dynamic either, well maybe with the
MinColor Node but that one again doesn't work
for deep data... And starting to sample every
pixel via python is just horribly slow and you
would need to bake it after that again. Plus
again the VIEWER_INPUT doesn't work for deep
data either...
It shouldn't be to complicated having one
button, that dynamically normalizes what's
shown in the Viewer, just as you have it in
Fusion.
I sent in a request, Ticket#2012101310000031
