I built it with yasm. But $ ffmpeg seems not to display it? Or does it
only display it if it's disabled, so mine is enabled?

That's not the complete console output. The "using cpu capabilities"
output from libx264 is worth noting.
I already posted a full output a few emails ago but here you go again with my build this time (BTW: so far building ffmpeg myself didn't change anything vs using static builds from ffmpeg.org/download):
Without "-threads": http://pastebin.com/vHVYdkCf
With "-threads 1": http://pastebin.com/mcWuqS0N

If I omit it it's of course the same as "-threads 4" (I did already test
it and at least this is what I would expect because I have 4 real cores
on a 84W TDP Haswell i5 CPU). See without "-threads 4" down below.
4 cores does not mean that x264 will automatically choose 4 threads.
For example, for my aging i7 860, x264 will use threads=12 (cores*1.5
for frame threads).
That's good info.

I did not read the whole thread, so I'm likely missing something
obvious, why not just use the defaults? Why are you messing around with
threads?
I was just wondering how it scales and found out it doesn't well.

In the console output when using the defaults, what value appears for
"threads=" in the x264 info? (You may have to output to a file instead
of null for it to appear).
Don't know how to see it.
Encode a file. Look at the console output; specifically the long line
that starts something like this:

[libx264 @ 0x55be781c6d40] 264 - core 148 r2579 73ae2d1 ...

Now for the important question: did you also test the x264 cli tool?
Indeed an important question.
$ sudo apt-get install x264

$ time x264 --pass 1 --crf 23 --preset ultrafast --threads 1 -o "b.mp4"
"a.mp4"
real    1m33.883s
[...]
So unfortunately basically the same as with ffmpeg.
In this case your questions should be asked at x264 help resources.
That's what I thought too.

PS: I tested HandBrake with HandBrake-GUI. It uses ~387% in top (which is good so far and utilized the CPU better than any other of my tests (well, VP9 did but the output files were corrupted and unreadable)) but I couldn't test with e.g. "-threads 1" and so on and see how it scales. Maybe it's possible with the -CLI version. I wonder what settings the GUI creates and forwards to x264, so I could take them and just add "-threads n" and see how it scales.
