Ok, so I tried using NLMeans instead of deblock, and using decomb. And now I remember why I prefer using deblock: on sources that are only slightly noisy (like animation from a DVD), even single-threaded decomb is MUCH faster than NLMean on 4 cores. I'll take for example my latest DVD backup (x264, ...

Thanks for the details - I'll change the filters I use to the multithreaded ones.

One thing that has annoyed me for a long time: some filters (deblocking and denoising, especially) will tax a core 100%, leaving all other cores waiting - I have a 4.2 GHz Core i5 4670K. The way I see it, filtering a single frame will take more time than the 3 other cores take to compress it. Up unt...

Hello, I've noticed, when using filters like deblock and/or the denoiser, that one core is pegged at 100% use while the 3 other cores have a 50-80% use. Until now, what I've done to mitigate this sub-par CPU use it to launch a couple encodes in parallel. I guess most (if not all) image filters are s...
