It's a single function that's now 100x faster, not the whole of FFmpeg

Yes this function has sped up thanks to assembly. The rest of ffmpeg is still not that fast. This isn’t the first time they’ve gained thanks to asm. 

They even have a github repo and discord server to help you learn assembly and well, make things better for them.
