I was far more nuanced because I know there are people like you who do
not understand such things. Seems like I failed at that anyway. I am
sorry, but I can only repeat the first two lines:
"It is well known that fabs and fabsf are at least as fast and sometimes
faster than the FFABS macro, at least on the gcc+glibc combination."

That statement is completely accurate. I did not claim "within
FFmpeg", since like I said usually there is no difference.

Look at the asm, etc etc. Clement has already showed the difference.
"Without any base" is a completely incorrect and illogical statement.
Paul is clearly convinced enough to start using it in his own filters.
