IMO there won't be any ground-breaking results. Computing is pretty efficient as it is. May be you'll run modern workloads using 256 MB RAM and 10GB HDD. So what? RAM and disks are cheap.

Where it matters, we use hardware acceleration and very thin layers over that acceleration. For example games.

JPEG have good compression and few hundreds of kilobytes to implement its support (and those kilobytes are battle-tested and probably have little to no exploitable bugs). I just don't understand why would you want to drop it. Modern web adopts new image formats, it's not like you must use JPEG today.
