We were adding support for .avif images in our backend this week.
It seems .avif encoding is very slow right now.
It takes 3 minutes to encode an image with the most compressed setting (speed 8/8).
Using the default speed 5/8 takes 10 seconds but gives a size practically as big as webp (which takes less time to encode).
I think/hope this will likely improve in the upcoming months.
