I stuck a timer around the call to the h264dsp function in
libavcodec/h264_mb_template.c.  Using STOP_TIMER(__func__) let me get a
different message for each function created.  The two functions my code
was called from were hl_decode_mb_simple_16 and hl_decode_mb_complex.

The video being decoded was one from fate concatenated together several
times.

The AVX comparison is it versus SSE2.
