I think it's fair to say that even complete x264 defaults with crf=20 
will give you better quality as well as faster encoding than your 
currently "tuned" xvid settings.

Also, I hope you now appreciate how important it is that xvid keeps its 
API compatibility - there's a lot of people like you who would refuse to 
relearn things from scratch just because some developer had some crazy 
idea and broke things that worked.
