I was only asking if you _did_ see an improvement with that change
alone; you should still probably submit two patches: a first one for
this change alone, and a second one for the algorithm change.

btw I'm not sure how you compile this code, the 2x-3x difference seems
huge, if you compile with ffmpeg build system it should be done
automatically but if you compile by hand be sure to use gcc -O2 so
that it optimizes it.
