You can make it faster by lowering the quality, by increasing the crf value. -crf 23 is the default value and is faster then -crf 20. It depends on the kind of stream and on your eyes how high is acceptable to you. Another option if player accepts this is anamorphic encoding, non-square pixels.

According to Eighth MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Video Codecs Comparison … libx264 is the fastest.
