Re: [help-GIFT] Optimizing

[risc]

I couldn't agree more.

Coding is my way of stress-releif, from my normal day-to-day activities.

My next sets of optimizations are more algorithmic changes inside of 
gabor_filter, and therefore will benifit both the multi-extractor, and the 
single-extractor. I hoped to get these committed soon, but i'm not yet sure if 
i should even apply my 70* and 80* patches, due to the aparent controversy of 
my earlier patches. 

can i get the live list members to look over my patches, and see what you 
think? 

I'm perfectly willing to start work on the multi-extractor, as soon as my 
present work is in. this represents MONTHS of my effort, and i'd really hate to 
see it discarded due to 'accademic cleanliness' concerns. coding cleanliness? 
i'll agree with that all day long. ;)

I've got a big weekend of gift hacking ahead of me. please pick a direction, 
and i'll follow it. ;)
