Nice work! Performance is definately acceptable on my box... though my
box is probably faster than average.

I think the threads effort needs to be done regardless and should be
the next big item to tackle. Stability wise current cvs should be
pretty good. Postscript is probably still a bit buggy, but they are
small fixes that can be easily backported.
So, unless there are big features/UI changes that we need to handle
(Bryan?), I'll try to release 0.1.5 this week, and branch.
