Vorbis dev - Dec 2001 - oggenc speed and cache size

I'm running oggenc on a dual celeron 415, and I can only encode at 0.9x real
time.

Will oggenc perform better with more cache size?
Should I start learning the source, to replace bits with
assembler?(yeesh...)
I guess there's no chance of a multi-threaded encoder to make use of smp
boxes?

hmm

Definately.

No.  The optimization we have to do is of the strategic, not tactical
sort.  The exact algorithms need optimized, not just the code.

There's no real reason... you can run two encoders....
