Has anyone considered switching to JPEG XR? It's supposed to be faster
and give better compression. I'm not advocating that images should be
re-encoded, just that all new images would be uploaded in the JPEG XR
format instead of JPEG2000. JPEG XR also does a good job of dealing
with large images, allowing for decoding at various resolutions and
sections of the image (this would be beneficial to SL).
