Hi,

ummm, my gut says there isn't a second color in a single-color image :)

Don't know about Mapnik, but since I had the PIL sources open anyway, I
looked it up. PILs fromstring() is a bit more involved than a memory
copy. It actually has a cyclomatic complexity of three. Of course, it
most probably _is_ quite fast so that you can't tell it from a memory
copy for most practical purposes.
In the end, the First Networking Truth holds: It Has To Work. But that's
for Markus to decide what works for his app (and an occasional mailing
list archive reader in the future).
Bye
Igor
