Feature changed by: John Van Vliet (JohnVV) Feature #310410, revision 3 Title: Evaluate switching to libjpeg-turbo openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Description: Quoting http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/libjpeg-turbo: ==== libjpeg-turbo is fork of the original libjpeg project. It contains numerous performance related enhancements and is at least twice faster in JPEG compression/decompression than original libjpeg on platforms with MMX/SSE instruction set. It has same API/ABI like original libjpeg and also runs on non-SSE platforms where is around 25% faster. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo ==== We should evaluate this library and see if we can replace libjpeg with it for improved performance.
