Assembly language is the best.

However, most "professional" programmers are incompetent assholes
that are totally ignorant of assembly language.

Not so with FFMPEG.  Their highly competent devs have achieved
up to 9400% improvement using AVX-512:

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/ffmpeg-devs-boast-of-up-to-94x-performance-boost-after-implementing-handwritten-avx-512-assembly-code


The article is extremely poorly written.  Nowhere is a release
number or version mentioned.  When will the AVX-512 code be
released?  Fucking assholes.

What can one expect from a site called "Tom's Hardware?"  The name
evokes images of toothpick-chewing country bumpkins lounging next
to a flag-bedecked, rusted pickup truck.

By the way, FFMPEG rules the video world.  EVERYBODY uses it, and
NOBODY uses Microslop.
