All,

Is there any reason not to use libjpeg-turbo instead of libjpeg when

building tde? Why not benefit from the acceleration?

-- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I would recommend using it actually. It makes quite a difference in the VNC applications; I can watch OTA HD TV at several FPS over VNC with it (I know, not really watchable, but still impressive given the overall inefficiency of the VNC protocol).

The only reason I haven't compiled into Ubuntu< Oneiric is that it is only available as a package in Oneiric and up.

As long as it doesn't introduce any issues, and as long as it can coexist with normal libjpeg, why not compile a version for TDE just for the distros/versions that don't already have it?
