[FFmpeg-user] Reduce CPU usage to match VLC

[Reindl Harald]

do you *think* that or have you tried it?

you can't calculate "booh CPU usage multiplied with cores gives streams"
the one and only question is if the overall load can handle
the streams without drop frames and how the OS will schedule
the threads and processes

the final goal is that any of your cores are 100% loaded and
nothing breaks down
