Measurements:

The following table shows some results of tests performed reading and comparing square sized images in Targa format ranging from 1Kx1K to 20Kx20K.
The columns 2 and 3 show the maximum image, that could be handled on the specified platform. The numbers in braces are the uncompressed image file sizes and the time needed to compare the images (not including the time to read the images).
Time measurements have been done on a Core-i7 CPU (2.8 GHz) and 8 GB RAM.
