With git master of ffmpeg and libsoxr 0.1.1, using default parameters, on x86, soxr is indeed a little slower than swr; however many would consider soxr’s quality (w.r.t. aliasing artefacts etc.) to be much higher—see attached image.   IIRC, when resampling with other options (such as using a ‘steep’ filter), soxr (0.1.1) is faster than swr.
These relative merits formed the basis for including soxr originally and are unchanged AFAIK.
Btw, testing using git master of libsoxr shows soxr to be faster than swr even with default parameters.
