I guess because I've never had such messages from anyone that I've always
assumed nobody else is using it.

At least now I have a reason to continue work on it. I stopped last year
when it did what I wanted it to do.

Main thing is that it is slow (at least when it comes to rendering stuff
on the web). Currently I am using it to render 30 PNGs in parallel on a
web page and that is fine when you have a single user (takes about 10
seconds to render the lot), but when the page was slashdotted last year
the usuage count soared to over 100 and people reported the page as
non-rendering when in fact what was wrong was that the perl scripts were
taking for ever.
