- Tom,
- I would have responded to your e-mail with e-mail, but my system refused
- to acknowledge your name. Here is your reply.
-
- TL> Lessee here, JPEG lossy compression = bad. GIFLITE lossy compression =
- TL> good. Your argument does not hold water, friend.
-
- I think you misunderstood what I have said.
-
- TL> Or are you really arguing that the variable compression
- TL> capability should not have been made accessible to users because some
- TL> people would misuse it?
-
- In that point, I simply argued that it HAS been misused and will continue to
- be. I also argued that one way GIFLITE is superior to JPEG in that is does not
- require a great deal of time to convert it into a format that can be easily
- displayed.
-
- You should see the performance monitor on the Sequent when I peg all 24
- CPU's at 100% when I go converting JPG's to GIF. Or the extensive time it
- takes on my PC, for that matter.
