In response to Sam's comments: > Also, can the current libtiff G4 decompression implementation be > improved ? What sort of improvements can be expected ? > > What's wrong with the current implementation? The current implementation is fine, but.. I have in my hands a commercial product (no source) that does decompression in noticable less time. That suggests that there are faster ways to decompress G4 in software, alas my question. > I don't want to get into algorithmic issues, my question is, is there > room for >15% improvement on G4 for the implementation of libtiff ? > > Until you cite specific goals (and architecture for running the > software) this question is silly.

Unless you didn't understand what I am talking about - CCITT Group 4 decompression speed - I find this answer silly. What does the architecture have to do with algorithmic improvements ? Perhaps you should read a computational theory and algorithms book before defining what silly questions are. In response to your 2nd comment, why would I be looking for improvements if I had not measured the performance of the current algorithm? If you remember, few weeks ago I sent some remarks on the new improved G4 decompression running on a pentium. K.Georgiou
