Oh, now I get it... Attached patch speeds up by 31%. The official 
encoder and libmimic too IIRC do not change the quality between frames. 
If there are quality changes then this new code probably slows down 
since it'll have to update the table all the time. If I find a case 
where that'll be needed, then I can probably have more tables in the 
context, keep the most recent ones and overwrite old ones. But that's 
for later.
