A potential customer is using -dGrayValues=16, but with color images, the gxht_thresh.c code doesn't work. A patch: 30f2c65 Disable threshold array based image optimization for depth > 1. fixes the incorrect output, but the enhancement would improve performance. Printers with bit depths > 1 are fairly common. First seen from potential customer with J8.ps (JEITA test file) that has a large image.
