Thanks for the testing.

That's odd. How much slower was the encoding? Could it be caused by
increase in the size of the function (only with -funroll-loops?) and
not fitting in the cache during encoding?

It might be good to use -funroll-loops only with some files, IIRC it
helped most to stream_encoder.c.
