hello,
this problem is correct by update to libjpeg-turbo 1.2.1

libjepg-turbo changelog

[5] Worked around a severe performance issue with "Bobcat" (AMD Embedded APU)
34	processors.  The MASKMOVDQU instruction, which was used by the libjpeg-turbo
35	SSE2 SIMD code, is apparently implemented in microcode on AMD processors, and
36	it is painfully slow on Bobcat processors in particular.  Eliminating the use
37	of this instruction improved performance by an order of magnitude on Bobcat
38	processors and by a small amount (typically 5%) on AMD desktop processors.

Regards,
Nicolas
