Would be nice if you guys just implemented JPEG2000. It's 2014.
Not only would you get a lot more than a 5% encoding boost, but you'd get much
higher quality images to boot.
"But nobody supports JPEG2000 and we want to target something everyone can see!"
If you had implemented it in 2014, everyone would support it today. If you
don't implement it today, we'll wait another 15 years tuning a 25 year old
image algorithm while better things are available.
Similarly there's a reason that people are still hacking video into JPEGs and
using animated GIFs.
Do Chrome and IE support JPEG2000? I can't find a clear answer online.
The WONTFIX'd Firefox bug [1] says IE and WebKit/Blink browsers support
JPEG2000 (but WebKit's support is only on OS X).
