Look at the last modified date on there... At the time it was written,
processors were fast enough and write speeds slow enough that this was
an efficient method. Now the write speeds are so fast that processing
the files often takes longer, even on machines with fast processors.
The script still works for me... but I'm still using my 3-year-old
4x4x32.
