How much slower? I'm finding very conflicting numbers.
But on the timescale of "wow this still doesn't support webp" those patents will solve themselves soon.

hardware-decoded HEIC is around 10x slower than JPEG.
software-decoded HEIC is around 100x slower than JPEG.
WebP is something like 20-50% slower than JPEG, so still solidly an order of magnitude faster than best case hardware-accelerated HEIC decoding.
