I’m confident I know what a properly compressed geotiff is, but what is a 
properly tiled one? (or if it’s easier to define: what are improperly tiled 
geotiff?)

I haven't benchmarked cogger but I'd expect it to be much faster than 
gdal_translate -of COG (if your input is GeoTIFF and always properly tiled and 
compressed of course!). gdal_translate -of COG uses generic GDAL API to acquire 
input data, which implies decompression / recompression. And in particular, if 
using input GeoTIFF with lossy compressed methods such as JPEG or WebP, cogger 
will avoid adding any new loss.

I haven't extensively used -of COG (the cogger code actually predates the cog 
driver) but iirc there are at least some cases where it uses an intermediate 
file, which would imply that cogger does offer some speedups. I'll let Even 
confirm...

Is cogger specifically for the scenario where your converting a large imagery 
library that already exists, but isn't cloud optimized? i.e. Does it offer any 
advantages over the one step `gdal_translate -of cog ...` when starting fresh?
