+/**
+
+ KPixmapIO implements a fast path for QPixmap to/from QImage conversions.
+ It uses the MIT-SHM shared memory extension for this. If this extension is
+ not available, it will fall back to standard Qt methods.
+ <li><b>Typical usage:</b></li>
+ You can use KPixmapIO for load/saving pixmaps.
+ <pre>
+ KPixmapIO io;
+ pixmap = io.convertToPixmap(image);
+ image = io.convertToImage(pixmap);
+ </pre>
+ It also has functionality for partially updating/saving pixmaps, see
+ putImage and getImage.
+ <b>KPixmapIO vs. Qt speed comparison</b>\n
+ Speed measurements were taken. These show that usage of KPixmapIO for
+ images up to a certain threshold size, offers no speed advantage over
+ the Qt routines. Below you can see a plot of these measurements.
+ The threshold size, amongst other causes, is determined by the shared
+ memory allocation policy. If the policy is <code>ShmDontKeep</code>, the
+ shared memory segment is discarded right after usage, and thus needs to
+ be allocated before each transfer. This introduces a a setup penalty not
+ present when the policy is <code>ShmKeepAndGrow.</code> In this case the
+ shared memory segment is kept and resized when necessary, until the
+ KPixmapIO object is destroyed.
+ The default policy is <code>ShmDontKeep.</code> This policy makes sense when
+ loading pixmaps once. The corresponding threshold is taken at 5.000
+ pixels as suggested by experiments. Below this threshold, KPixmapIO
+ will not use shared memory and fall back on the Qt routines.
+ When the policy is <code>ShmKeepAndGrow</code>, the threshold is taken at
+ 2.000 pixels. Using this policy, you might want to use preAllocShm
+ to pre-allocate a certain amount of shared memory, in order to avoid
+ resizes. This allocation policy makes sense in a multimedia type
+ application where you are constantly updating the screen.
+ Above a couple times the threshold size, KPixmapIO's and Qt's speed become
+ linear in the number of pixels, KPixmapIO being at least 2, and mostly around
+ 4 times faster than Qt, depending on the screen and image depth.
+ Speed difference seems to be the most at 16 bpp, followed by 32 and 24
+ bpp respectively. This can be explained by the relatively poor
+ implementation of 16 bit RGB packing in Qt, while at 32 bpp we need to
+ transfer more data, and thus gain more, than at 24 bpp.
+ <li><b>Conclusion:</b></li>
+ For large pixmaps, there's a definite speed improvement when using
+ KPixmapIO. On the other hand, there's no speed improvement for small
+ pixmaps. When you know you're only transferring small pixmaps, there's no
+ point in using it.
