Gain a 15-30% speed boost by sacrificing rendering quality.

Installation

1. Add <add name="SpeedOrQuality" /> to the <plugins> section.

Usage

Add &speed=value to any image URL.

Value chart

• 0 - Highest quality
• 1 - High quality bilinear, but with low quality pixel offset, smoothing, composing, and compositing quality.
• 2 - Low quality bilinear
• 3 - GetThumbnailImage() is used. This can produce extremely bad (but instant) results when an image has an embedded EXIF thumbnail (most cameras embed these).

Notes

Resizing is usually the least expensive part of image resizing - jpeg decoding and encoding take most of the time. This plugin can sometimes speed up resizing by 1.5-3x (or more if there is a thumbnail image and you are using &speed=3), but it probably doesn't matter much - the overall savings are likely less than 20%.
