As is to be expected, low motion scenes look identical. I thought high
motion scenes looked nearly identical as well, until I ran into a couple
places that looked much worse after this patch. I'm uploading four
representative screenshots (two before, two after) to:

http://fatooh.org/files/sstemp/

I'm on a slow dial-up connection right now, so this message might reach
the mailing list a few minutes before the upload finishes.

I haven't checked any later commits; these problems might disappear when
I try them.
