It depends on the images. On tiled JPEG2000, the OpenJPEG library is usable,
although admitedly much slower than JP2ECW or JP2KAK. On single tile JPEG2000
images, the performance of OpenJPEG is really terrible since it will decompress
the whole image even if a subwindow is asked.
I'm sure the OpenJPEG developers would welcome funding and/or patches to improve
the performance of the library. We need a performant free and open source
JPEG2000 decoder. The proprietary alternatives are workaround.
