I think that's what he meant with the caching, yes <G>.  (Though
perstistancy might be a Good Thing -- that isn't there now, is it?  Also, is
it cross-process?)

However, a quality option bitmap somewhere might be a Good Thing (resizing
alogrithim, dithering).  Perhaps even making an intelegent default decision
(based on image size)...
