So, how can I do better? Does X renders jpeg itself, or qiv converts jpeg to some other format? Then preliminary converting would also save the time.
X11 doesn't speak any file-based format. There are some formats which are close to the wire protocol: xbm for fonts, cursors, and depth-1 windows, and xpm for other bit depths. But when it comes down to it, the program has to read whatever format you give it and populate a Pixmap, then blit that to the window. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
