Yes. Especially on these devices, JPEG decoding is undue latency. Also, Rik's suggestion makes an ImageBitmap just a thin wrapper around a Blob, with decoding performed every time we do a drawImage call. That's bad for performance in many cases. David's proposal lets the author be a little bit more explicit and the UA doesn't have to guess what to do.
