What else can be considered is: one of the loaded image was in fact a PDF, so 
by first rasterize it in 300dpi TIFF I could have the export in half initial 
time ; another was a 625dpi TIFF, by first downscaling it to 300dpi I gained 
a bit of time too ; I stopped there but I think it would have been possible 
to tweak things here and there to keep the script as is and reduce the 
processing time a lot.
Because when I tried to implement the brilliant idea by Alessandro I faced 
some real limitation of the scripter, first of all being the well-known lack 
of copy/paste (and I feel way too lazy to implement it in python!). I’ll try 
again today to see if I can find better with a rested head.
