I just noticed Fedora 14 is switching to libjpeg-turbo, which is 2x-4x faster than the original libjpeg. The API/ABI is the same so we do not need to rebuild all the dependent packages.

Apparently, everything went fine at Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/libjpeg-turbo

I do not see why we should not profit from this on Arch.
This task depends upon
