Not fully. I got bitten by Amdahl's Law before :-) I have only
seen yuv2yuvX be a cpu-hog, so I only did this one.

Trying to "fix" or "improve" the structure isn't going to be
very productive IMHO. It ain't nice but it get the job done,
and once you understand it it's not *that* bad. And the
more sophisticated the function you change, the more likely
it will need to be redone because of change in the C version.
That's why I usually keep myself to only DSP-like functions.
