I do not see anything in the implementation that might be particularly 
slow except for the rand() function.  GraphicsMagick uses the rand() 
function provided by the operating system but ImageMagick provides its 
own random number generator.  Maybe the rand() function in Windows is 
extremely slow?

2 minutes is quite slow for a 640x480 image.
