I don't mind whether the "slightly" is there or not, but I don't know
how FFmpeg's j2k encoder stacks up to those other libraries either.
And the speed differences decrease with frame size, and I don't know
how often people encode >20MB frames.

It would be cool to have an encoder that matched CUJ2K in speed
though.  I'd like to multithread the openjpeg encoder someday, which
should help significantly.  Anyway, those are my thoughts.
