libjpeg has an odd upstream. We needed some build fixes to be
included for the Windows cross-compiler, but found the current
upstream to be unresponsive (although at least they're making releases
now ...)
There's also this project, to add hardware acceleration (SSE and so
on) to libjpeg:
http://libjpeg-turbo.virtualgl.org/
If we're going to switch, maybe this is a good choice.
I did some profiling of this for the spice project, and it performed
very well. I would very much like this to be in fedora, either as a
separate library or as a replacement for libjpeg.
It is binary compatible with libjpeg, but contains some extra API not
supported by the normal libjpeg.
