Around 10% speed up, which is actually quite significant.

BUT, you'll have to either....
    1. Directly input into x264 (get a version built with ffms2 input).
    2. Decode and pipe to x264 with some other decoder (eg. Mplayer, ffmpeg).
Or if you need/want to use avisynth (for filtering or whatever other reasons)...
    3. Use a 64bit avisynth, of which there currently is only some unofficial builds which are buggy as hell.
    4. Use normal avisynth, and pipe it to x264 with something like avs2yuv.

Yeah.  Worth looking into if you do a lot of encoding at home though.

I'll keep you in 8th for now.

9th.  Second pass is more important, since more time is spent on that than the first pass, and it's the pass that actually encodes stuff.  For quad cores, 1st pass doesn't even use up 100% CPU (thus not a good benchmark).

Actually, it would be best to calculate some harmonic mean and rank based on that, but I don't think anyone could be stuffed doing that.
