Comment:

 Looking at the history of libvpxenc.c, it seems the one of the default
 settings was changed starting with ffmpeg 2.2, commit
 34e32d6464135a03da14d5b0aef1d42796939eae (Changing the speed/cpu-used
 setting from 3 to 1).

 If you use the default settings (Like you're doing with the command line
 example you gave above) then it will of course be slower now since we
 default to a slower but higher quality encoding setting.

 For an approximation of the old behavior back try running something like
 "ffmpeg -y -i source.mp4 -f webm -cpu-used 3 -b:v 800k -b:a 96k -ac 2 -sn
 output.webm".
