[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/5][RFC] Speed up AAC decoder

[Mans Rullgard]

This patch series speeds up the AAC decoder by 25-50% on Cortex-A8 and
by 20-30% on Core i7.

Some of the more obscure parts certainly need a few comments, which I
will add if there are no objections to this approach.

Mans Rullgard (5):
  AAC: use table for cbrtf(n)*n
  AAC: Compress codebook tables and optimise sign bit handling
  AAC: simplify some calculations in decode_spectrum_and_dequant()
  AAC: Unswitch loop over window groups in decode_spectrum_and_dequant()
  AAC: Reduce depth of vlc_spectral tables to 2
