It may have served some purpose in the beginning (adding more multiple displays), but I don't think it works as intended. I think for the sake of simplicity, this behavior should be seen as a bug and fixed.

Thanks,

Each time -imagedisplay is passed to manta as an argument, it renders an extra image (I think, at the very least, it looks like that according to performance). This can make things appear to be slower than they really are. I noticed this when I passed -imagedisplay null and -nodisplaybench to manta and found my code to run twice as slow. Should this be seen as a bug or is this perhaps a required feature?
