[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec/xbmdec: Use LUT for hex char->number conversion

[Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@outlook.com>]

Improves performance by about 30%.

[1] is a patch that would also move the bitreverse into the LUT;
it didn't make a difference in the benchmarks here, but if it is
an improvement for someone else, it could still be applied.
