But right now I don't have any solid numbers for how much overhead that represents, so would need to do some profiling before I could say it justified the effort. My suspicion is we'd need to optimise other aspects of the processing pipeline before it became particularly beneficial. On a more general note, not aimed at OIIO in particular, my experience is that "nobody asked" isn't necessarily a good indication that all is well. I'm regularly astounded at the ingenious contortions folks will go through as a workaround before asking for something. Cheers... John
