[magick-users] Rotating images

[Damien Dunlop]

Can this be true?

Take a moderate image e.g. generated by the
following command (it takes 6 minutes on my PC - 
but I am not complaining about that, its only
for test purposes):

# Make image 

convert -size 1500x2000 xc: +noise Random A.gif

# Rotate the image

convert A.gif +rotate 20 B.gif

That took 148 seconds on my PC

But Paint Shop Pro (poor man's Photoshop?) took < 2seconds
to do the same.

Seventy times longer is a HUGE difference.  Any thoughts?
