[Magick-bugs] timing comparison

[Jean-Pierre Radley]

I compiled today from current source and from an older tarball, and was
quite surprised to find an enormous difference in execution time.


$ time convert-6.3.1-7 B1.tif B1.ps

real       19.74
user       19.29
sys         0.35


$ time convert-5.5.7-36 B1.tif B1.ps

real        0.89
user        0.52
sys         0.27


Running ldd:
