I'll take your word for it.

If you ask the author, maybe he'll consider relicensing it. Considering what you've accomplished with RawSpeed, though, I see good reason to be optimistic about your ability to squeeze more speed out of it, but until you do, having something that works would be better than nothing. RT is bloody slow compared to Rawstudio. Granted, I haven't used it much, but I wouldn't want to use it for high-volume work. On first impression it seems much more advanced than Rawstudio, and is probably superiour for tweaking individual images. However, such basic things as copy-paste of settings across a number of images and being able to make several versions of the same image, not to mention the speed, of course, makes Rawstudio the clear winner for me. I have a feeling, though, that I'll start to use RT for those few pictures that warrant all my love. :-) > Thanks - it is always good to have good test images!
