With the current implementation, it takes seconds to decode and display JPEG with several megapixels (for example size 4000 x 2000 pixels). The memory consumption when decoding such images also needs improvements. Workaround: Custom DctDecode filter may be implemented and registered in RadPdfViewer. The attached demo shows how this may be achieved by using BitmapImage class to decode the JPEG images instead of the default RadPdfViewer's JpegDecoder.
Hi, The the improvement will be included in the upcoming 2016 R3 SP1 release. Regards, Telerik by Progress team
