I guess Michael's addition is the one not working?

The issue here is that emms might be emitted quite frequently, which I
believe was Michael's reason to do this. I have just verified he is
right: the ssse3 version takes ~155 cycles, and adding unconditionally
emms brings it to 185.

Anyway, this is weird. At this point, I think this is causing more
headaches than encoding with such a codec is worth.

I'd suggest reverting the change altogether, because adding emms to
the dsp is probably more detrimental.
