JPEGTMP: is an assign used by the standard JPEG code. It's used as a
sort of virtual memory when real memory consumption is high (big
images). So assigning it to RAM is not a good idea unless you have lots
of RAM. If you do have lots of RAM, it's faster to increase the memory
allowance in the decoder itself, but bear in mind this is the memory per
image. I use 4MB and never swap to JPEGTMP:
