Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I would like to convert a java.awt.Image to a byte array in the easiest and fastest possible way. I have implemented the following method but is has some serious performance flaws (takes approx 500 ms to execute):

public static byte[] imageToByteArray(Image image) {
      
      MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(new Container());
      tracker.addImage(image, 0);
      try {
          tracker.waitForAll();
      }
      catch(InterruptedException e) { }
      BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null), 1);
      Graphics gc = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
      gc.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
      
      ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "jpeg", bos);

      return bos.toByteArray();
}

Does anyone know any easier and faster way to accomplish this?
