FFmpeg Now Supports HEVC/H.265 Decoding

[droidhacker]

How is it in terms of cpu efficiency? I.e., does "double" the coding efficiency mean that it compresses data twice as far, or uses half the CPU to obtain the same results? If twice the compression, does that translate to twice the CPU? 10 times the CPU? H264 is already tough on CPU, and this new stuff obviously can't be decoded by legacy hardware decoders.
