2082	mjpeg: low quality + restart (and grayscale) = lower quality than libjpeg	ami_stuff		"{{{
cjpeg -targa -quality 15 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q15r17.jpg
}}}

{{{
cjpeg -targa -quality 5 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q5r17.jpg
}}}

{{{
cjpeg -targa -quality 1 -progressive -restart 17 -grayscale test.tga >q1r17.jpg
}}}

Please decode attached samples with ffmpeg and djpeg. The output from djpeg looks less blocky
The problem is most visible with q1r17.jpg when we compare output from ffmpeg and djpeg.

This is related to restart option, for example there is no problem while decoding:

{{{
cjpeg -targa -quality 1 -progressive -restart 0 -grayscale test.tga >q1r0.jpg
}}}

with ffmpeg (ffmpeg and djpeg output matches).
