libjpeg forks
Wikipedia lists two well-known forks of libjpeg: libjpeg-turbo is optimized for speed, while mozjpeg is optimized for filesize. Should Lime use one of these instead of the original? If so, which?
(Bonus: both are Git repos, meaning they'll be easier to keep up to date.)
Since lime only does jpeg decoding, the best replacement would be libjpeg-turbo. MozJPEG is a fork of libjpeg-turbo with improvements for compression and encoding, so it wouldn't provide any advantages for lime.
Fair enough. That's probably the same reason Chrome prefers it.
