+- image-type-header-regexps priorities the jpeg loader over the
+imagemagick one. This is not wrong, but how should a user go about
+prefering the imagemagick loader? The user might like zooming etc in
+jpegs.
+
+- For some reason its unbearably slow to look at a page in a large
+  image bundle using the :index feature. The imagemagick "display"
+  command is also a bit slow, but nowhere near as slow as the emacs
+  code. It seems imagemagick tries to unpack every page when loading
+  the bundle. This feature is not the primary usecase for the
+  imagemagick patch though.
+
+- zooming the image like what is done for fonts in face-remap.el would
+  be a useful and demo friendly addition.
+
+- figure out what to do with the experimental features noted below.

 - :crop is used to specify a croping area: (width height x y).  This
 is similar to the slice image specification, but has a different
 purpose. :crop removes the croped areas from memory, so its memory
 efficient if you only need to view a certain part of the image. The
 slice specification can be used to pick diferent parts of the same
-image, so its more disk and display efficient.
