> Criticizing QOI for not being able to be well parallelized inside the decode function, that seems more like a demand for a premature optimization to me What? Faster encoding and decoding is one of the primary reasons for the format. Yet, QOI decoders are currently an order of magnitude slower than SSDs available today and even worse compared to DRAM! Now seems like the perfect time to look at possible optimizations to close that gap.
