    It's important to notice that ZPNG beats virtually all QOI variants, as discovered in: https://github.com/nigeltao/qoir

    But most platforms these days have some form of CRC32 "acceleration". Adler32 is easy to compute so I'm even less concerned there.

    I spent a bunch of time optimising the code in [fpnge](https://github.com/veluca93/fpnge), which is [often notably faster than fpng](https://github.com/nigeltao/qoir/blob/5671f584dcf84ddb71e28d...), yet checksum time is basically negligible.

    Having said that, the double-checksum aspect of PNG does feel unnecessary.

    * AFAIK it does this while beating the original QOI in terms of speed AND efficiency

    My works over the years are accumulated on https://www.nayuki.io/ . Lately I finished writing a new PNG library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/png-library ), and now I'm revamping a DEFLATE library ( https://www.nayuki.io/page/deflate-library-java ).

    In the second constructor, the first call is Math.round(), followed by Foo(int).

    I found myself needing to work around the limitation recently: https://github.com/nayuki/PNG-library/blob/b92cedc23b1fc32d5...

    Having implemented most of the PNG specification from scratch in the past month, I agree with all of the features highlighted by the author in the article's introduction. Although there are some minor things I don't like, overall it is a very well-designed format that has minimal ambiguity and stands the test of time.
