Hi David,

I've been really slow to respond to this stuff, (sorry about that),
and now that I went to look at it again, I find the above URLs are no
longer functional. Can you provide updated pointers to the original
content?

Oh, don't worry about the test suite for something like gradients. We
don't have any precise specification for what the gradient results
should be. So if everything "looks good" then we can just update the
reference images and suddenly your new fast version will officially
pass the test suite.
