Hi FFmpeg community,
After installing the latest FFmpeg 5.0.1 from 4.3, I am seeing increased
Avg CPU Utilization and increased number of threads for the same workload
compared to FFmpeg v4.3.
*Specifically,*
1. Increased Avg CPU utilization upto 15% - compared to version 4.3 for the
same workload.
2. Increase in the number of threads per ffmpeg process by 3x - compared to
version 4.3 for the same type of media conversion workload
*My query:*
1. Is this expected? If yes, any specific reason? If not, any
configuration/tuning to be done?
2. Is there a way we can tune ffmpeg to reduce the CPU & thread counts back
to v4.3 levels?
*Hardware:*
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz / 48 CPUs
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 12
Socket(s): 2
