        For anyone following along, I should probably note that the above
is infeasible. I thought about it some more and remembered that the
fragments are decoded in a very funky pattern which would not lend itself
to DC prediction in the same phase of the decode process.

        However, since there would be, e.g., 1800 DC coeffs in a 320x240
image, for a grand total of 3600 bytes, would it be reasonable for them
all to be in cache just after they were unpacked? Then, all of the
prediction could be calculated in one go, as I think Christoph was getting
at.

        Thanks...
