Try a value of 27 when asked for the filter window size.
It takes around 20 seconds to blur an image on my laptop (it is in BASIC, after all).
I know the unpleasant visual artefacts that can arise when using a square filter, but it's fine for its intended purposes (i.e. not broadcast-quality image processing!).
It should be much faster than the current, pretty dreadful GFXLIB_BoxBlurNxN routine after it's been translated to assembly language.
The image in the demo is that of the once-beautiful French actress, Emmanuelle Béart (before she ruined her looks with disastrous plastic surgery and which she now campaigns against).
The BB4W version was adapted from the source code at Mattias f*gerlund's Coding Blog:

I suspect you do! I must admit, however, that in a mainly UK-centric forum it isn't really appropriate to censor that word: this side of the pond its common meaning is innocuous. My dictionary describes the 'offensive' meaning as "Slang, chiefly U.S. and Canadian".
Indeed many of Conforum's automatic substitutions are laughable, for example any reference to 'b*t*h' will be changed to 'pregnant dog' (it's not even accurate: my dictionary says 'female dog'), and as you've found the words are recognised not just in isolation but as part of a longer word.
So I think there's a good case for drastically pruning the 'profanity' list to include only the most offensive and commonly used swearwords; I've now done that for the groups I administer.
