(This should not happen on x86 where optimized functions 
exist.)

Is this ARM hardware?
If yes, nobody added arm optimizations for libswscale 
so far, look into the subdirectories in libswscale to 
see some examples (x86, ppc, sparc and bfin, consider 
looking at sparc if you really only need yuv2rgb32, 
x86 contains a myriad of optimizations more).

If you plan to work on adding optimizations, please 
update to current git head and please read 
http://ffmpeg.org/developer.html
(And if you plan to implement this, ffmpeg-devel is 
of course the right mailing list for implementation- 
related question, it isn't clear to me though if 
you want to do that.)
