To elaborate (I missed the scaling in your first mail):
libswscale does not contain optimizations for mips, so 
scaling is expensive.
If you are an experienced mips asm developer, optimizing libswscale 
is definitely possible and many operations would gain speed, 
the alternative is to optimize the h264 decoder (which would 
also show benefits when decoding without scaling) or you 
optimize both;-)
