Package: libjpeg62
Version: 6b-12
Severity: normal

Lossless rotation using jpegtran is now dog slow (25 seconds for a photo on a
Pentium M 1.4) and spends over 90% of its time in kernel space.

This regressed between 6b-10 and 6b-12, which is > 20 times slower.
If I copy /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 to . it's much faster:
 
$ time jpegtran -rotate 270 img_6182.jpg > /dev/null
real    0m25.266s
user    0m1.444s
sys     0m20.433s
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ; time jpegtran -rotate 270 img_6182.jpg > /dev/null
real    0m1.279s
user    0m1.128s
sys     0m0.056s

This affects other programs such as exiftran and gthumb of course. However,
jpegtran-mmx is not affected.

$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH; time jpegtran-mmx -rotate 270 img_6182.jpg > /dev/null
real    0m0.890s
user    0m0.772s
sys     0m0.096s

This is especially irritating if you use gthumb to rotate a set of photos
automatically, which is now 20 times slower.
