Yes. It's very noticeable when you're reading an ebook with J2K page images, just due to how long it takes each page to render. In contrast, regular JPEG of the same dimensions is practically instantaneous.

PDFs are probably where the majority of users will encounter J2K.

Do there currently exist tools for transcoding the images to something which renders faster?
