Yeah, I sent this to Mike a bit ago.  Seems that .32 has basically
tied it--and given the strict thread-ordering expectations of x264,
you basically can't expect it to do any better, though I'm curious
what's responsible for the gap in "veryslow", even with SCHED_BATCH
enabled.

The most odd case is that of "ultrafast", in which CFS immediately
ties BFS when we enable SCHED_BATCH.  We're doing some further testing
to see exactly what the conditions of this are--is it because
ultrafast is just so much faster than all the other modes and so
switches threads/loads faster?  Is it because ultrafast has relatively
equal workload among the threads, unlike the other loads?  We'll
probably know soon.
