Change one part of a repeatable workload at a time. A proxy, a reduced viewer resolution and a hardware encoder can address different costs; none is a guaranteed cure for every slow edit.

This library does not invent hardware benchmarks. A proposed method is labeled as a method; a future measured result must include its equipment, versions, inputs and limitations.
