Comparison to gif are totally unrelevant in 2010, it is a dying file format 
that probably still exists only for animated gif. If you want to compare your 
algorithm, it should be done with state of the art such as PNG (or uncompress 
jpeg2000, but while PNG is quiet use and his taking the place of PNG, jpeg2000 
has remained irrelevant). Furthermore, you would need to provide a clear 
benchmark, with a downloadable  images that serves as reference.

And also since we are on an open source mailing list, making the code 
available would be a good idea.
