JM is the original H.264 reference encoder, predating alternatives like x264. Since x264 became highly performant and perceptually driven, it joins other MPEG reference encoders such as HM & VTM in their reputations for being highly niche offerings that are used rarely due to their usage complexity & speed disadvantages. x264 is generally more efficient than JM.
