GraphicsMagick still faster than ImageMagick

I updated the GraphicsMagick vs ImageMagick benchmark for the 
GraphicsMagick 1.3.6 release, comparing algorithmic performance with 
latest ImageMagick 6.5.4.

The bad news is that ImageMagick has closed the gap in many areas 
compared to the last time-around, but the good news is that 
GraphicsMagick still has quite a lead in most areas.

This time around I was able to compare GM and IM performance under 
Windows/MinGW (GCC compiler) with a recent OpenMP-capable GCC on a 
quad-core system.  That was pretty cool.

The performance summary may be read at
