Igor,

Our code base does not include a GPL JBIG2 encoder -- it is only
supported with the optional (extra license cost) Luratech JBIG2
module.

I think that for monochrome images, CCITT-G4 is MUCH faster than
JBIG2, even when using the optional Luratech encoder. While
JBIG2 compression can be superior to G4, I think we can get by
with G4 and avoid the performance penalty and the requirement
for the Luratech JBIG2 encoder.

Regards,
Ray
