I tested this on The Matrix:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
for i in 1:turbo 2 ; do
  time mencoder ~/dumpstream/matrix.vob -aid 128 -oac copy \
  -vf crop=718:356:0:60,scale=640:272 -sws 9 -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=581:psnr:vpass=$i:mbd=2:mv0:trell:cbp:\
precmp=2:cmp=2:subcmp=2:predia=2:dia=2:preme=2:vme=5:v4mv:\
last_pred=2:vqcomp=0.6:vmax_b_frames=2:qpel -ofps 24000/1001 \
  -o test.avi
done

-----------------------------------------------------------------
before:

(pass 1)
PSNR: Y:40.06, Cb:44.34, Cr:44.64, All:41.10
user    35m12.394s

(pass 2)
PSNR: Y:42.10, Cb:45.17, Cr:45.85, All:42.96
user    186m52.325s


-----------------------------------------------------------------
after:

(pass 1)
PSNR: Y:40.05, Cb:44.29, Cr:44.59, All:41.08

(pass 2)
PSNR: Y:42.04, Cb:45.15, Cr:45.84, All:42.91

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't have the user times listed for "after" because for some reason
my CPU frequency scaling went screwy and stuck my CPU at a low
frequency. Nevertheless, I don't think the encoding speeds are
significantly different -- the user times for after the next commit were
 34m52.509s and 190m8.100s, respectively for each pass.

Unfortunately, I didn't see a large PSNR gain like I had hoped from the
log message. The PSNR actually dropped a bit. As for quality
differences, here's the breakdown from looking at several different scenes.
- mostly the same (low-motion scenes are all the same)
- several places that look slightly better
- a few places that look slightly worse
- a few places that look significantly better
- one place that looks significantly worse
- one frame that looks way worse (flickering lightning for a second)

Overall, I have the impression that quality is improved.
