Hi there,
Mozilla have made a fork of the libjpeg-turbo package called mozjpeg, which features improved encoding: https://blog.mozilla.org/research/2014/03/05/introducing-the-mozjpeg-project...
I'd like to propose making the switch. The "library configuration defaults are the same as for libjpeg-turbo, in order to make transitions as painless as possible". A PKGBUILD can be found on the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mozjpeg/
Thanks for your consideration, N30N.
-1. mozjpeg offers slightly improved compression at the cost of up to x10 increase in compression time (*). It may be something to consider later if they manage to improve the speed although they expect that it will always remain slower than libjpeg-turbo.
