[XviD-devel] About xvid source assembly language optimize(why it does not work?)

Hi,

make sure you really compiled xvid with assembly optimizations enabled. You
need yasm or nasm present - or otherwise xvid will be compiled with c-code
only.

Also note that the -m option will write out data to your disk. It might be
that more time is spent on I/O than on the actual decoding. In that case,
asm and noasm options could seem to perform similar.

Regards,
Michael
