Good catch!  I think we should still pursue the other OpenJPEG 
optimizations, but it sounds like you have solved a major part of it!

The way I understand it, since all of the CPU slack is taken up pushing 
out frames, you may be able to compare framerates to determine relative 
texture decoding performance.

Of course a full profile like bushing did would be the ideal.  Maybe you 
could get with him on profiling your patches.  I think he said he has 
some crazy setup that can compile in a few minutes, so it might not be 
too hard for him. :P
