hi andrew,

i wonder if the photo-jpeg compression does introduce a jitter in the  
decoding speed depending on the complexity of the content. gem would  
need a different time to decode each time a different frame is called.
i am working now with 1024x768 video compressed with 75% quality  
photojpeg and sometimes see lags in the decoding.. but maybe it's  
just my imagination.
