You are generating a new image every time.  You should do "gst -QI 
/path/to/imagefile.im filename".  Or you can build your own image 
(loading TCP, Regex and other packages you are interested in) and point 
to it in the -I switch (compared to the way other languages work, that's 
not cheating as you're only doing a kind of "linking").
