Another Look at the Pixel-Plotting Tests

I recently ran a little experiment to see which would be the fastest way to plot a bunch of single pixels using the methods available in the System.Drawing namespace. It turns out, for those who haven't looked, that there is no set-pixel type method because everything is built to work with various...
