at least 12 times per MB isnt often because the loop filter SSE2 code is
writen in yasm and thus cant be inlined forcing us to do 12 calls per MB
;)
thats in addition to the 12 calls that we have to do because gcc cant
inline a bunch of trivial wraper functions without messing up. I would have
loved to try to inline the SSE2 code in these wraper functions ...
