What Hacker News says

There's a huge problem with these improvements. They rarely make it to the original project. Luckily, the SIMD acceleration for progressive Huffman encoding was a rare exception [1]. So, alone with other improvements, it made this fork [2] rather pointless. Adding the NEON optimizations would have been easier with a proper rebase, and that would require less work for both to keep things up to date.

In NEON is the new black: fast JPEG optimization on ARM servers
