They're code may be faster, because it uses CPU specific
instructions (SSE), whereas IMDI is portable C code.
(IMDI will go faster if compiled on 64 bit though.)
It's also a bit easier for them to hand code a single case (8 bit 3D->3D)
rather than generate optimised code for arbitrary combinations of
8 and 16 bit nD -> nD.
I'm not sure if Firefox includes GNU code, although it may well do
so since the source code is publicly available.
cheers,
