Comparing against ffmpeg/libavcodec

[AshKash]

Ffmpeg has scaling, cropping and many others. Is there any benchmark that compares libvips to it?

Hello @AshKash, that's an interesting idea. I tried a quick experiment:

$ time ffmpeg -i x.tif x2.tif
real	0m1.582s
user	0m0.241s
sys	0m0.399s

So I think ffmpeg will probably not be a good fit for this task. It is very quick at processing many small images, but slow at processing a single large image.
