[x264-devel] I have a few minor question relating to building my own binaries and cpu detection.

Yes, you should be worried.  You had to explicitly disable the asm to
get that message.  So you made it 4 times slower.  You are missing
yasm, which configure should have told you.

kb/s means the average bitrate of the output so far.  E.g.  x264 has
output 700 MiB of data for 30 min of video, it would say 3262.23 kb/s
