[FFmpeg-user] 0.10.3 to 0.11 performance regression?

[Carsten Mattner]

I cannot get 0.11 or git master to perform the same speed of
conversion of a video file into an mp3 audio track via
ffmpeg -i file.ext -ab nnnk file.mp3

0.10.3 used to take a few seconds and while converting prints
size=    1193kB time=00:01:01.04 bitrate= 128.1kbits/s
as the progress line.

real    0m15.799s
user    0m14.502s
sys     0m0.213s

0.11 and git master print some orange colored text which
are maybe warnings and the speed is many many times slower:

I've bisected this in the git repo and the result is:
2dfea1205870c298461f08fc323c652be41888f8 is the first bad commit

Another question: when bisecting I have constantly hit git revisions where
the build results were avconv other executabled instead of ff* executables.
Is that due to temporary merge commits to/from libav.git?
