Hi, Jukka. Nice to hear from you again. :)

Indeed, the results of ECW and JPEG2000 versus TIFF weren't too 
surprising. I had been asked "prove it" and decided to share my numbers 
with y'all.

Both the ECW and JP2K were through GDAL via the ERMapper SDK support. A 
year or two ago, I decided that JasPer was too flaky for real usage.

Correct.
