Hi,
I'm still interested in seeing a linjpeg-turbo merger with ijg's own
code base. I'd say that the most performance boost brought in by
libjpeg-turbo is due to the specialized SIMD routines, which
theoretically can be easily merged. libjpeg-turbo has also some
weaknesses such as (as provided from the project's homepage):
Note: Due to the licensing of the two libraries, I think it's more likely
that libjpeg-turbo can merge the changes occurring in ijg jpeg than ijg jpeg
merging libjpeg-turbo changes. So it might be better for you to look at
what libjpeg-8b provides, what the cost is in compatibility, and decide
whether we should propose those features be merged into libjpeg-turbo.
