I've finished doing some runs last night, the details of which I'll
post when I have more time (later today, hopefully), but I found, on
overage, libtheora-1.1beta3 used about 1/3 more time than
libtheora-1.0 for various types of video files I have lying around or
I can generate easily.

Note, I only tested constant quantizer (i.e., quality) mode encoding.
I did not have time to do the rest, but I don't mind doing so when I
get the chance.

If you prefer I use svn trunk, I can switch to that as well.

I do not currently have access to a 64 bit machine right now, though I
have one back home and would love to help with multi-architecture
testing in the future.

Note, for all testing I used example_encoder with a yuv4mpeg video
stream I had exported to /dev/shm, so input was also limited to under
750 MB.  I only have my nearly 5-year-old laptop at the moment...
