Import Sliced Images from other software?

Does anyone use imported images from other software or know how to do so? The super long slice times with CW are really getting annoying when you have to re slice to change settings etc. My latest project is 80mm - 120mm tall pieces and they take anywhere from 45-65min to slice each time. :/
Any help or suggestions would be great.

Is there a reason you need to slice the images to files? Because if you don't *need* to export them, then slicing is instant.

If need be, I can add a slice importer, although ideally I'd like to make sure that slicing (even with anti-aliasing) is a quick process.

I might be able to find a way to speed up the anti-aliasing a bit.

And as far as losing sync, check all your timings, and can you tell me if the 'ignore gcode responses' box is checked in the File->Preferences?
