Okay, not faster, but it used memory better. Try xv with standard
malloc, then dlmalloc and finally GNU-malloc. With standard malloc xv
grows until it hits datasize limit (16MB) and dies (usually after 10
or so big jpegs). With dlmalloc xv's VZS was about 15MB after last
picture of that particular set and with GNU malloc it was about 11MB.
