At a hint from Marti that he has added a special case for matrix only profiles, I've repeated the benchmark using lcms V2.0. Matrix profiles: lcms 73 argyll 65 qcms 32 cLUT profiles: lcms 357 argyll 69 qcms n/a So for the special case that only qcms supports, lcms V2 is just as fast as Argyll, and a factor of 2 slower than qcms. Whether this is significant in practice for use in a browser probably depends more on whether color management is being applied efficiently, or whether it is being applied badly (Consider: even a large display only has around 4 Million pixels, so repainting the whole screen should take about 15msec's worth of color transformation.)
