It would be useful to know how long aac decoding takes in general, e.g for n seconds of audio, what is the cycle count. Cycle counts of initialization can get easily amortized in that. And that is really what should determine one's heuristics for when to statically/dynamically init. I personally don't mind either way. All of this work grew out of a remark by wm4 some weeks back: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-November/184018.html, something I agree with mostly. The reason I ask is to prioritize effort. For instance, if 300k cycles is too much to always dynamically init, I will not bother shaving 20k cycles more: I don't want to spend time on last mile optimizations unless it can result in help towards wm4's goal, i.e I don't want an immediate nack to removal of the hardcoded tables stuff here. > > Ronald _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
