Congratulations, you have managed to provide a two second delay between clicking on, for example, the Firefox icon and the resulting sprite CSS being displayed on a brand spanking new eight core, 8GiB RAM system. I hope you're proud of your abuse of my computer's resources. But, alas, I shall be having no more of this nonesense!

What's your browser & OS? RAM isn't the bottleneck here, it'll be the CPU via a poor JavaScript engine.

Of course, it's open source, any optimisation suggestions will be gratefully received. The calculation of sprite boundaries happens in two steps, first a contraction https://github.com/jakearchibald/sprite-cow/blob/master/www/... then an expansion https://github.com/jakearchibald/sprite-cow/blob/master/www/...

Firefox 14.0.1, Arch Linux (it's a rolling release distro, fully up to date).

Solving these kinds of problems and optimizing things makes me happy. I'll take a look at this when I get home from work and see if I can speed it up.

Christ, you act like you're doing someone a favor running this tool that was built to help you save time. Let me guess, you're the guy who bitches when the WiFi is down on the airplane.

CPU time is super expensive where I live.

Incessantly.
