maketx is completely a standalone executable. If you aren't using any custom features that Autodesk/SolidAngle has added, there's no reason why you can't build OIIO yourself (getting any fixes or perf improvements up to the latest patch) and use that maketx with whatever runtime texture engine is embedded in the Arnold you are using, at the very least to find out the current perf and make sure there aren't any remaining problems that haven't been fixed at some point.
