An issue I see with this mod is that is uses an un-official, and un-supported version of GD that you can only get with a lot of finecking about. Since GD is more or less dead, there will not be a new update of it, and would not be integrated with new PHP releases. So this would only work on very few websites.

I suggest to the creator if they want more usage of this hack, that they make it work with the supported version of GD, or convert it to work with Image Magic.

If this could be done, and it actually works, I would not mind supporting it for a very long time, since its one of the things that should speed up a website by a lot, and its the only thing Google is complaining about.
