Extremely slow library #24

I've spent an entire day trying to make this to integrate into my app, I got FileNotFoundException on the gsdll32.dll, and when I copied it to C:\Windows\System32, or put it manually alongside the GhostScriptSharp.dll, it errored out with BadImage exception, then finally I thought of creating a simple console app and try it there, and it worked as both DLLs were under the bin folder alongside each other (surprisingly), but then the performance of this library is horrible!! It's slow and it generates huge files (in MBs vs. few KBs compared to other libs).

So, I don't believe anyone complained about this before so they wouldn't waste their time and try this library like I did, it sure would've helped me if I knew this was its result.
