I'll be flabbergasted if someone gets this to work on a CPU under 1.5GHz
at the slowest.  The only way I can see it possibly working is if you
use the video card's blitter to pre-squeeze the edges of the image.
Otherwise you're going to have to do computations involving combining
varying numbers of horizontally adjacent pixels, and MMX will do you
little or no good.

Of course, if you'd asked me a year ago I'd've guessed that what dTV
does *now* wasn't possible on my measly CPU, so by all means dive in
and try it!
