No faking here! Got my P4 530J (3.0Gig) processor and I turn Hyperthread on (in fact, with my HTPC, everthing runs slow without it on).
-Video Card: PCI-E 6600 128Mb (77.72 Driver) Desktop @ 1080i
-Display is a NEC 6pg Xtra Crt
-DVD Player is TheaterTek 2.2.1 using VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive mode
Now using FFDshow-20051129 (Daily Build) as followed (only need a good sharpener for my CRT so no denoise used):
-Avisynth
Import("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\LimitedSharpen_Faster.avs")
SetMTMode(2,0)
LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.3,ss_y=1.3,Smode=4,strength= 70)
-Resize @ 1280x720
Settings = Lanczos @ 2.00 / Luma Sharpen @ .30
Currently, my CPU is running about 96% (48% w/Hyperthread) and I see no stuttering. About a month ago, I was using FFDshow-20050303 and could only use LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.2,ss_y=1.2,Smode=4,strength= 45) but switched to the 20051129 build and to my surprise, got about an extra 5% speed boost to allow me to get to "ss_x=1.3,ss_y=1.3". By increasing the sampling size I was able to increase the strength without seeing any adverse affects you would get with over-sharpening (ringing, jaggies, moire etc).
Also found (for me) that using SetMTMode(2,0) instead of MT("LimitedSharpen(ss_x=1.3,ss_y=1.3,Smode=4,stren gth=70)", avisynthTS=true) was faster (about 3%) but others say MT() works better - the only way to know is to just try it...
