Is it using up GPU time or just maxing out CPU? It uses OpenSceneGraph, which has some very slow state management (std::map and atomic reference counting all over the place) in its render thread so I wouldn't be surprised if you are s

Going by the paper it also improves performance even for single threaded code[1]. The GIL is just dated design, there isn't anything good about it. [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CXhDb1ygxg-YXNBJNzfzZ

A reporter might want to hide images that could be considered regime critical if they might be searched. Lots of nice pictures of healthy patriotic people, no suffering and starving people, empty shelves or grass stealing beggars to see. Or

An invisible way to hide a signature comes to mind. Until the ownership comes into question no one will be aware that the image itself contains all proof needed. You could do something like Eurion and hide a pattern that only copiers can id

Section 10 only seems to mention further restrictions as restrictions added by "you", so a licensee. Doesn't this reference to section 10 mean that section 7 explicitly limits itself to further restrictions added by licensees
