Rav1e 0.4 Released For Faster Rust AV1 Encoding - But Still Is Quite Slow

mate that's kinda unfair when you've been here since 2012 and I've only been here for a few months.

personally I'm just hoping to discourage any annoyances by calling them out. sorry though, my post was off-topic.

Well. That was sort of the point. The less than ideal way of starting a thread.
A fresh account and calling everybody with an annoyance/opinion a troll...
And yes, we digress.

Rust has some points SVT-AV1 has others. But comparing them seems a little bit apples to oranges when you're talking a magnitude of speed.
So what I'm trying to say, I guess, is that they probably have different users with very different needs.
If I was doing encoding for a product/platform/content, I would not spend 10x CPU cycles to do encoding for the same quality etc, unless something very specific is needed. But that's just me.

Bl*dy hell .. but why it is wrytten in rust?
It is fundamental design issue using tooling which forces to use own build automation (cargo) and still is very unstable! (from design perspective)

Article mentions "Rust" and "this software not quite as fast as a hyper-optimized implementation"?

"much faster", while true, seems like a bit of an understatement when you're talking almost an order of magnitude...

Phoronix: Rav1e 0.4 Released For Faster Rust AV1 Encoding - But Still Is Quite Slow

Rav1e 0.4 was released on Wednesday as the latest version of this Rust-written AV1 video encoder. The rav1e 0.4 release represents a speed-up for the encoder but depending upon the preset level can still be at fractions of a frame per second...
