SMP/Hyperthreading support
First I really want to say thank you for this great build of x264 for VFW. I was begining to feel desperate, as if I'm the only one who still rely on VFW. These releases are great, thanks!!! However, I am using a Core2Duo processor, and it seems that the codec uses only half the processor power to encode, meaning no multithreading/SMP support. If you add this support (I believe it just means changing an option in the compiler), most of the newer processors will be able to encode twice as fast, which is of great importance, of course. Just a suggestion... Keep on the good work!

also in vdub all filters (avs or vdub internal) allready run on a separate thread so enabling max threads in x264 can sometimes slow the process. Your mileage may vary :)
