I process large amounts of images for sd and also do simple graphics work sometimes. Webp saves some space but is slow af at saving, like 10-50x slow. So not even remotely a good tradeoff. Reading is fine, afaict.

What do you mean it’s slow at saving? Do you mean the conversion is slow?
Yes, all tools freeze for much longer when it comes to webp output.
Ah ok. I do image processing via aws lambda. Takes like 400ms to 5s depending on size and original format.
