Running:

ffmpeg -y -loglevel info -i 7416_20120706232700.mpg -r 25 -ss 0:0:0 -t
0:10:00 -map 0:0 -pass 1 -vcodec libx264 -b 1200k -threads 8 -f mp4 -an nul

3 times and averaging gives

head   (version N-42432-gb27c7d7)  382fps
0.11.1  (ffmpeg version 0.11.1)    379fps

The configure options were identical.
