Well, what better then ? JPEG as well with a compression ratio upper
than 75 (default Qt = 75) ? I recommend 85 instead...

Mik, do you have tried 85 JPEG quality ? And in this case, DB will be
bigger : which size compared to PGF ?

Agree but it give info about algorithm optimization. For ex, JPEG2000
is a mess in this case...

I'm in contact with libPGF team. I will ask speed optimization
question comparing to JPEG.
