 Hi!
 I'm trying to decode .264 file using ffmpeg with -threads option,i'm using
 a dual-core computer and build ffmpeg using the pthread option,but  the
 rate is not improved,i wonder what is the reason.
 my command line is:
 time ./ffmpeg -y -threads 2  -thread_type slice -i test.264 test.yuv
 and
 time ./ffmpeg -y -threads 1 -i test.264 test.yuv
 the time is close,i didn't see any improvement.
 i tried to encode and transcode video using -threads option,i can see
 great improvment about twice speed improvent ,why does the multithread
 decode is not good?
 i hope that someone  can help me solve the problem!
