Yes it's slow for several reasons:
1) it request rgb, so there is convert from yuv to rgb and back
2) lut3d is cpu only for now (no GPU accel)
3) lut3d has no SIMD
4) lut3d is not threaded

Threading could probably be added. SIMD might not be worth the effort, but
patches welcome. GPU can be interesting, patch welcome as well I suppose.
Not much to do about the first point, except add some specific optims in
swscale.

Feel free to open a ticket, and eventually add a bounty. Or send some
patches if you're a developer.
