Pete—I’m glad the improvements made a difference to you. I remembered that the applylut optimization was not the only factor involved in speeding up the ‘thin’ option of bwmorph. I’ll add a clarifying note in the post.

I was new to MATLAB and in the middle of a project that would have involved a thinning stage, except that thinning with bwmorph was too slow (taking several seconds). I was quite pleased to finally come up with a convoluted workaround that did what I needed using bwulterode, until R2007b came along and made the workaround redundant. I was very curious at the time as to how such drastic improvements in bwmorph could have been achieved. It's nice to finally know, and I'm glad you had that light bulb moment.
