Comment (by Tschuuuls):

 This is also broken on M1 Pro, playing at 0.566x.
 Safari doesn't have problems playing the same file at 2x speed without
 dropping frames. I think it uses Core Media (AVDFrameReceiver and
 com.apple.coremedia.videomediaconverter) instead of Video Toolbox to HW
 Decode the video.

 Safari also plays the "Peru 8K HDR 60FPS (FUHD)._original.webm" file at
 <30% CPU load as reported by Activity Monitor while ffmpeg uses >40% in
 the benchmark while only managing 0.566x speed.

 Maybe someone from the ffmpeg team should look into this and report it to
 Apple?
