Async JPEG encoding with Alchemy
Mateusz Małczak one of our Polish Flash Platform gurus (an author of an awards winning Komixo http://komixo.com/ comics editor) has released an asynchronous JPEG encoder that is based on libjpeg and compiled into AS code with Alchemy. More info about his work you can find here: http://segfaultlabs.com/blog/post/asynchronous-jpeg-encoding
Here is also a preview where you can compare it with optimized JPEGEncoder. It not only is faster but it also produces smaller jpegs:
This look pretty awesome but the link to segfaultlabs doesn’t work for me.

Ridiculous:
Alchemy image generated in 4 seconds.
AS3 image generated in 41 seconds.

I have just put up a tutorial/guide on how to use the Alchemy JPEG encoder in Flash. It’s also an example on how to use a progressbar to monitor the encoding. Check out http://last.instinct.se/graphics-and-effects/using-the-fast-asynchronous-alchemy-jpeg-encoder-in-flash/640
