vade releases 3 super-fast blur patches

vade says:

It uses a 5 pass render to texture pipeline and downsamples early passes based on how much blur you apply. This means v002 Blur runs faster when you apply more blur, so you can be aggressive with your effects.

A quick (highly unscientific) test on my MBP shows roughly twice the framerate (compared to the built-in equivalent blur patches) for similar blur radii. Bravo!
