Description
I've been running some (entirely unscientific) benchmarks on the overlay filter.
Compositing a frame at 1080p (YUV 422 planar) over another frame takes in the region of around 20ms on my system. Admittedly, my system isn't the latest and greatest.
Having inspected the latest source code, it feels as if the overlay filter (vf_overlay.c) could benefit from threading. The trick would be to somehow keep both the current inlining while incorporating the addition of threading. Without inlining my tests indicate that performance degrades significantly.

Fixed in d54014d1573ec6e958e9c9e802e613c73c7f7ba5.
Note, on average it helps only 10% with 4 cores/threads.

Wow, quick turnaround. Thanks. Does the percentage increase have any correlation with the size of the overlay?

SIMD added to overlay filter, for case when main has no alpha and alpha is straight.
Threading will not help much, unless you have bunch of cores, SIMD will help much more.
