The setedges patch idea wasgood, but the implementation was
completly wrong, i wonder what i was tking about at the moment
i hacked it. I have a bugfree version ready for commit.

I did some tests this afternoon, w/o oprofile, and i got much
better results both for xvid and ffmpeg. We're still lagging
far behind tho.

I noticed many inline functions were'nt being inlined by gcc,
and even increasing inline threshold (thus making sure all
inline functions were inlined), the decoder wasn't that
faster. So i think i can't get it faster w/o some real
changes to it. But im short on ideas, i'm open to suggestions.
