I'm personally quite surprised to discover that libjpeg has still no multimedia acceleration today. The number of impacted applications is huge: photo browsers (they make thumbnails), web browsers, ... Just loading the desktop background can imply the decompression of a big jpeg. And optimized IDCT code is not exactly something rare to find around. :-) -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
