I tested a few random videos (all with B-Frames) today on different hardware,
and I always saw more than 50% speed improvement (= less than half needed
processor time) for skiploopfilter=all:skipframe=nonref

I severely doubt there is any processor where multithreaded h264 decoding will
make the difference between usable and non-usable, except that the user may then
use deblocking on B-frames while editing in real-time where he has to live with
P frames without loop-filter currently.
