Performance:
- Need to fix rounding/quantization issues before turning on pixman SSE2
CMS:
- Will be flipping CMS pref on this week
- Some handwaving on current testing (many tests have a dependency that when colors A and B are combined, the result is a predetermined C; this is not the case with arbitrary profiles -- we're forcing sRGB for input and output for the tests, thus exercising CMS while still getting consistent output)
