This seems very difficult to implement.  And it certainly does not
belong in a filter, since the filter chain can't renegotiate
colorspaces (IIRC).  Also, the results depend on the vo as well, since
the chain of conversions needed to make the vo happy will have a
definite effect on the resulting speed.

If you'd like to volunteer to try this... be my guest.
