Fair enough, I didn't notice that.  My point still applies to Divx 6. 
And Xvid did get somewhat of a speed up from SMP:    "(2): Non
optimized codec, but because VirtualDub separates input reading (and
thus decoding and resizing of the source) from encoding, it can still
make good use of an SMP system."

have turned into just another shouting match.
