Consider the idea of making Numba a dependency. I've done some quick testing with it and simply wrapping the mandelbrot calculation with @jit has an unsurprising yet still astonishing effect on calculation times (although the initial startup time was horrifically slow).
On the one hand I feel this isn't in the spirit of this application; on the other hand it is kind of neat and fun.
Perhaps I could make it optional (need to think about how that would work out for the Homebrew installation).
