-
- The PC is about 50% faster with "the same CPU power" and "the same
- graphics hardware (performancewise)". This is due to c2p and better
- coding on the PC decoders.

-
- Because the c2p needs about 10% of the total decoding time. The
- best algorithms are maybe twice as fast and the decoding would
- speed up by a whopping 5%.
-
- This relation will change when other parts of the decoder run
- faster.
