My current development version of the client (not committed, yet)
uses GD's trueColorToPalette() for quantizing of whole slices and
PerlMagick to save tile files to disk instead of calling pngnq and
pngcrush for each file. One tileset, which was 3.5 MB on the server
is now 3.1 MB and took 30% less time to render than before.
I am using PerlMagick because I could not get GD to save indexed PNGs.
Before committing that stuff I would like to know about the
availability of PerlMagick for Windows. While there is a Windows
Installer for ImageMagick on their website I did not see one for
PerlMagick. Is there a convenient way for our Windows users to get
PerlMagick onto their systems? I guess the difficulty is that any
binary version depends on a specific Perl version.
