It seems for some reason NEON is not enabled by configure. Can you
provide the config.log file so I can check what goes wrong?

If you did the timing with the highest presets (-6, -7 or -8) most of
this slowdown is caused by recent improvement in compression at the
cost of encoding speed. See https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/245
