Interestingly they don’t compare based on encoding or decoding speed on flif.info. So I assume it’s slow or inefficient to decode. Even though that should not be the case for arithmetic coding. Maybe they also just didn’t care? But I’d think on mobile devices the power required for decoding would matter… I’m confused.
On mobile any particular useful compression will become on-demand hardware acceleration which can be very power efficient. I’m fairly sure webp had hardware acceleration on most chipsets these days.
