back in the running

It seems that once again GraphicsMagick is back in the running for 
processing movie images.  The guy at LaserPacific found that a local 
configuration issue caused GraphicsMagick's rungm.sh script to take 6 
seconds to start so image resize was taking 8 seconds.  Now that the 
problem is resolved, image resize takes 2 seconds so GraphicsMagick is 
looking good again.  He is speaking to me again ...

This site handles important movies like Terminator 2 so it would be 
way cool if GraphicsMagick was to be used to do some of the processing 
for major feature films.

I get the impression that they want to scan film images at 4K 
horizontal resolution with 16-bit accuracy and scale them down to more 
typical 2K images for further processing.  That way they don't lose 
the original quality of the fancy film scanner they bought.
