Before I head off into diags land and asking elsewhere, has anyone seen any weirdnes with x265 encoding speeds FFmpeg on FreeBSD? The specific weirdness isn't just slow encoding, that's expected in comparison to, eg x264. The specific weirdness is my 6 core AMD Phenom II 3.3GHz based PC is encoding significantly slower than my 2 core Intel i5 @2.6GHz (4 with hyperthreading). I'm wondering if either AMD is not as well supported or the Phemon II is just so old it doesn't have the right support. Encoding with X264 is far faster on the AMD the Intell box.

I've tried swapping the video cards over to see if FFMPeG or the x265 library was using h/w acceleration.
