Since I am a performance freak, I want to speed up the image serving as much as possible.
But before tweaking any server settings I have to optimize the images themselves.
For this I started looking for linux JPEG optimization tools and found a few, no idea which one is the best so I decided to run a few benchmarks and share the results with the rest of you.
List of tools
jpegrescan- A lossless jpeg optimization script written in Perl. Created in 2008 and hosted for a long time on a pastebin page it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but why not.
jpegtran - A popular tool for lossless jpeg optimization.
JPGCrush - Found only as a comment on hacker news without any documentation or info. Lets do this!
jpegoptim - Maybe the most popular tool for lossless and lossy image optimization
imgopt - A rather simple bash script that uses multiple tools at the same time to achieve maximum optimization
