I'm not too convinced of this since libmpeg2 was still faster the last
time I tried and now we have a pending patch with further speedup.  I
propose running benchmarks on many different CPUs instead.  Let's find
out which one really is the fastest.  Maybe we can motivate somebody to
try making FFmpeg speedier...
