 Performance of FFmpeg using x264 codec on ppc64le is 30%-50% slower than
 x86. This is in contrast to what is expected on Power8/LE. The x264 and
 other codecs needs to be further optimized for Power8/LE as there is
 signification performance degradation on POWER. Attached are the test
 results for FFmpeg+x264 codec.

 FFmpeg was compiled as:
 ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-memory-poisoning --enable-avresample
 --enable-libx264  --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include --extra-
 ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib

 x264 codec is compiled as:
 ./configure  --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-debug

 Run time options used:
 perf stat -o perf.log ffmpeg -i VanillaCakeRecipeDemonstration-
