Hardware decoding more than fast enough!

I've modified my test JPEG decode program to loop through 300 frames in as rapid succession as possible and the results are _very_ encouraging!


pi@raspberrypi /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_jpeg $ ./hello_jpeg.bin lair1.jpg
Total elapsed milliseconds: 2346
Total frames decoded: 300
Total frames / second is 127.877238

The source JPEG is 640x480 in size.  The .ldimg JPEGs are 640x240 or 720x240 in size since they are fields instead of frames and they need to decode at 59.94 frames per second to run at full speed.  So in other words, the hardware JPEG decoder is more than adequate to the task! (it would need to be decoding at 29.97 frames per second and it is running at 127.9 so that is awesome!)
