I made an optimized version of the GIFDecoder class, I think it is worth sharing.
It avoid GIFGetByte/GIFPutByte for the images content. Instead, it is copied directly to the returned images. This eliminates a lot of ord() and chr() calls, which leads to about x4 speed improvement for large images.
Some other improvements :
- it uses the SplFixedArray to improve the performances of GIFGetByte, so it requires PHP >=5.3.
- it allows you to extrct the dimensions and position of each frame, if you want to rebuild your animation after some modifications.
