## Performance
_Suggested by Eric Soroos, Mentor
Investigate speeding up core operations by vectorizing core functionality. This could be a combination of autovectorization in the compiler, manual recoding of tight loops in vector form, or writing kernels for OpenCL.
## Stability
_Suggested by Eric Soroos, Mentor
Pillow decodes a lot of image formats, some of which are safer and better specified than others. Experience with [other projects](http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/01/ffmpeg-and-thousand-fixes.html) has shown that there are many bugs lurking in otherwise functional code. Running a large corpus of valid, invalid, or otherwise fuzzed images while recording and investigating errors and crashes should improve the robustness of Pillow.
