[vlc-devel] vlc x246 benchmark

[Kaarlo Räihä]

Well, jump on system time would indicate that some OS operations take much
longer to complete. Which would mean either changes in those operations or
maybe something is compiled differently (debug stuff enabled?). I would
guess that Ubuntu doesn't use vanilla kernel, but I have no clue what
changes could cause so big difference between those kernels. You could also
try to use plain x264 without VLC to see if you can duplicate the results.
