[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/1] doc/fate: advise on --assert-level=2

[Nicolas Gaullier]

In my personnal experience, when running fate, --assert-level=2 has a very limited performance impact,
so I think it can be recommended without further attention.

This (or some other appropriate place in the docs)
should mention that doing so could have a performance impact
