I don't think you'll end up with something that's much better than  
what Jaroslav suggested. As to a good reference, then I believe  
Mathworks has a nice tutorial on vectorising your code. Try looking at  
their documentation (it's available online).

I've tried your code on my machine at work, and it returns almost  
instantly. So either my machine is much faster than yours, or  
something seems broken with your setup. Matrix based code can be  
fairly memory intensive, so perhaps this is your problem? If you  
store, say, 200 images in memory at the same time, this could affect  
performance quite a bit.
