I do want the speed improvements, yes.

But
you compare frame threading when slice threading performed
much better than frame threading prior to the patch

also id like to see the individual changes which look like they should
make teh code slower, to be tested individually. If they make the code slower
they should be dropped

Also the code has a bug, benchmarks may theoretically changes once it is fixed

using matrixbench
-i matrixbench_mpeg2.mpg -an -vcodec ffv1  -slices 4 -t 100 -coder 1  -context 1 -bitexact /tCmp/ffv1.2-11.avi
