Test, as in comparing FFmpeg to libjpeg-turbo, or libjpeg-turbo to
libjpeg [2]?  I suppose if I integrated it I could compare it (has
libjpeg ever been integrated do you know?)...I suppose my goal was not
to disturb, but allow FFmpeg to be faster, if it's not already, than
libjpeg-turbo.

If libjpeg-turbo *is* faster than FFmpeg, one option might be to
incorporate it straight in (it has a BSD style license now apparently
[1]), though apparently it doesn't support all aspects of jpeg v8 or
something like that [3]

Thanks!
