Maybe multi-thread unsharp mask isn't really what you need, what you
need is making video filters process images in separate thread (on
separate core) than video decoding, since decoding 1080p uses a lot of
cpu. On the other hand, now with 4-cores cpu becoming mainstream,
forcing each filter into its own thread and even maybe in-filter thread
usage is desirable, too..
