Just control CPU resource be used by decoder, perhaps the computer is
running some other applications.
There are running more application in one computer, and the ffmpeg

For example running machine learning traning some model, and use
ffmpeg transcoding vod videos,
but transcode functions is borrow machine learning's team computers :D.
