in reply to ImageMagick too slow

I think ImageMagick for Windows is more reliable than djpeg/cjpeg for Windows. I wouldn't recommend the change.

ImageMagick uses newer jpeg routines, while djpeg gives me "out of memory" sometimes (although I have more than enough memory). I didn't notice enough difference in processing speeds between ImageMagick and djpeg.

    It only uses newer routines for the completely different JPEG 2000 format. It uses the IJG code for its bog-standard JFIF JPEG file handling.
