see vsad_intra16_c() and ildct_cmp
these would need to be extended with a width=8 intra variant, arrays would
need to be enlarged to [6] ...

also supporting full RD would be nice, that is encoding both and picking
the actually better instead of some heuristic

and to handle the whole frame, one simply can repeatl use the 16x16 or 8x8

Complexity theory is the science of finding the exact solution to an
approximation. Benchmarking OTOH is finding an approximation of the exact
