While looking for jpeg to build it on my new lfs build, I stumbled upon this one. Has anyone tried it? Wikipedia says it is a fork of original libjpeg but it uses SIMD (whatever that is) instructions to accelerate encoding and decoding. Also, same page mentions that Firefox and Chromium use it in it's later releases, and Firefox 13 is gaining some performance improvements from it. Also, it claims to be compatible with previous jpeg version 6b while original jpeg isn't. So is it worth trying it and maybe adding it into the book and kick out original jpeg?
