This is a patch release correcting some balancing issues in speed/complexity tradeoffs.

Improvements

• 25-40% faster speed levels 2 to 5
  • This is accomplished by disabling costly coding tools
    • Fine directional prediction
    • Intra block transform splitting in inter frames
  • Encoding quality is slightly inferior (1-2%), but more in line with the target speed levels
