I am writing an web application where I need to send an image from servlet to client. Image is generated dynamically and is quite big(+-2MB). It might be jpeg, png, or gif.
Now, I am using ImageIO.write() to write the image to output stream, but its veeeery slow. It takes up to 6 seconds till the client see the image. I need to speed it up.
Any suggestions?
btw. I am aware of Looking for a faster alternative to ImageIO topic. But it didn't help me.
Since it's slow with PNG ImageMagick is not a solution and
I have tested JAI and it was even worse.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
To show you some code:
BufferedImage bi = [code to generate Image];
response.setContentType(mime);
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bi,"png",out);
I stripped down Exception handling for readability.

Image encoding in java is pretty slow in general but you may also want to ensure you have the native libraries installed as they make quite a noticeable difference in performance.
