“The biggest speedup I’ve seen so far.”
The headline says 100x performance leap, which sounds incredible until you read that it applies to an obscure filter. Handwritten assembly optimization is the kind of dark art that delivers real results but only for developers willing to go that deep. FFmpeg keeps proving that when you care enough to write assembly by hand, compilers still can’t touch what a skilled human produces. Just don’t expect this to make your video encodes 100 times faster.
