[x264-devel] Re: x264 improvement

[David Wolstencroft]

I didn't look at the to field before sending, an incredibly bad  
mistake by me.

This x264 build resides on my home computer only. I mainly fiddled  
around with the Altivec to get better with the technology and have  
been able to boost performance of the x264 builds on my home  
computer. Since then my duties have changed as I have become more  
involved with software engineering, so I'm afraid of it being looked  
at as competition.
