This doesn't answer your question one bit, but I feel compelled to say: if you are at all worried about performance, I've found the netpbm tools to be much nicer on a web back-end...

Par out the apps you think you don't need, strip all of the suid bits if you're worried. > I am sorry I haven't had time to research this port in depth.
