I'm sorry, I am afraid I am mostly too blind/stupid to properly
spot the differences.
But I suspect I found a solution for the speed issue with -vf ass,
maybe you could try the attached patch?
Not sure if I might have made some stupid mistakes, so testing
would be good before I try to get it upstream.
For -vo gl it seems to "only" about double the speed, which
isn't really good enough.
