theora - Jun 2010 - theora's encoding speed

Is there any way to get better encoding speed out of ffmpeg2theora?

eg: <snip> Duration: 00:57:04.92, <snip> ET: 02:06:24

here is the command:
ffmpeg2theora --soft-target -V303 -v4 -F25 -K25 --croptop 8 --cropleft 2
--cropright 2 -x360 -y288 --deinterlace --aspect 4:3 -H24000 -A56 --optimize
"<filename.mpg>"

also the bitrate, 300kbits == 297kb (3 kbit less)

Light travels faster then sound, which is why some people appear bright, until
you hear them speak

You use --optimize, which makes it do slow tests. Try leaving that out.

      --optimize         optimize video output filesize (slower)
                         (same as speedlevel 0)
      --speedlevel       encoding is faster with higher values
                         the cost is quality and bandwidth
                         - 0: Slowest (best)
                         - 1: Enable early skip (default)
                         - 2: Disable motion compensation

I'd love to see it multithreaded someday. My machine has 8 CPU cores but
I don't always have 8 videos to encode...
