Once again, I'd like to ask for anyone who has some SSE/MMX knowledge
to help me fix SIMD-accelerated Snow decoding on AMD64. I should give
a small encoding speed boost too.

My experience with qns is that it mostly helped when the bitrate was
low enough that the video would look blocky.

I've been talking with Nico Sabi about changing how "turbo" works to a
way similar to what we do for x264:
turbo=1: speed-up encode with negligible PSNR difference (this should
be more or less the original version of turbo I committed)
turbo=2: speed-up some more while impacting PSNR a bit. (that would be
current version of turbo)

That way we could safely recommend using turbo.
