JPEG-2000, for example, is very hard to decode in a CPU. Many implementations take a second to decode an image.
There are two really hopeful things about this new project: (1) by leveraging HEVC, we get cheap (energy efficient) and fast decode on future mobile devices and (2) Since he is demonstrating pretty quick decode in JavaScript now, it clearly isn't a CPU pig like JPEG-2000.
