You're right, but aren't you forgetting that for each image, the encode cost needs to be paid just once, but the decode time must be paid many many times? Therefore, I think it's important to optimize size and decode time.

HALIC's decode speed is already much faster compared to other codecs. When you look at the compression ratios, they are almost the same. There doesn't seem to be a problem with this. There are also issues where encode speed is especially important. But I think there is no need to spend a lot more energy to make a few percent more compression and decode it.
