Of course not! What I asked was "how does this performance change if you omit all the
filters" - and you are *not* supposed to use "-c:v copy", so we can see
approximately how much of your CPU performance is used by the encoding
process, and how much by the filter.

That's not true. The filter *implies* not being able to do "-c:v copy",
but it may not be the actual filter using all the compute power, but
the CPU-based encoding. And if so, we might be able to help you by
recommending other encoding parameters or use of a GPU based encoder.
