Then you underestimate the work involved in using datatypes to decode
images. Apart from the fact that V would lose all speed gained from the
internal decoders, you'd lose progressive decoding, the cleaner dithering,
increase memory consumption..
.. all for what? So they use the PPC? That's what the MorphOS decoders
are for. And they're faster than datatypes and more compatible. What
are you worried about? :)
