I'm looking at the JPEG plugin and wondering? (a) Should I convert that to using the os-x platforms JPEG implementation, versus our usage of the source from the "Independent JPEG Group's software" ?
(b) Should we consider upgrading the VMs from version "6b 27- Mar-1998" to the more current "release 7 of 27-Jun-2009" since we store the source in the VM SVN tree at the moment. I've not looked but (a) Apple might have a private implementation that could be faster since it would likely use hardware vector services. (b) Relying on the system libraries for conversion means fixes for security issues get prompt attention, versus our non-attention now. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.
