Hi Jukka, I blogged about it :
http://erouault.blogspot.fr/2014/04/advanced-jpeg-in-tiff-uses-in-gdal.html This can be definitely usefull when you need subsampling of JPEG-in-TIFF that don't have any internal or external overviews. But if you have storage space available and some CPU time in advance, I'd still recommand generating precomputed overviews. Those "implicit" overviews will be faster than the previous way GDAL was doing subsampling if you have relatively fast I/O compared to CPU. But by nature of the JPEG codestream, JPEG implicit overviews will remain far less powerfull than, let's say, JPEG2000 ones (or other similar wavelet-based technologies). In wavelets, you can have frequency coefficients for the whole image, whereas in JPEG, there are only for small 8x8 or 16x16 blocks, so in JPEG you still need to read the whole set of coefficients, even if you only use 1/4, 1/16 or 1/64 of them.
