Specifically zero copy and OffloadingVideoDecoder.
- Zero copy requires AOM team to fix 8 bit output for 8 bit content.
- Offloading needs some testing to see if it's worthwhile for the SD content that will be dominant in the early AV1 days.
So at least with the 1080p media that YouTube produced, there isn't any performance increase by enabling offloading and zero-copy. I suspect this is because the YT produced media doesn't use tiles so multi-threading can't be used.
