    In the meanwhile, the dav1d benchmark remains stuck at v0.1.

          Hmmm... their linked blog post doesn't even say what hardware was used to run the benchmarks. You have to scroll down to line 40 of the linked spreadsheet to see it's a i5-4590, running Windows 10.

            It's impressive seeing how much this decoder has improved in such a short time. Hopefully the encoder side will see large improvements this year as well.

              Been waiting on the developers to merge this: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/d...e_requests/670

              That they've been working on a built-in FPS counter metrics and was supposed to make it into this release but sadly didn't.

                I already submitted some patches via mail which "implement" this feature...

                  To you all 7 users:

                  I've submitted a patch long ago, which changes the Seconds metric to FPS, only to be told Michael would wait until 0.2 to merge my patch.

                  He never upgraded to 0.2...

                    Yeah following the 0.2 release I heard from Luc saying there was implementation within dav1d going on itself and it's been dragged out longer than anticipated for getting it in the release. In retrospect should have just pulled the patch into 0.2 had I known it was going to take this long to add the support to the program itself.
