Complex (soft-) subtitle rendering is probably not the best benchmark, unless libASS is also multi-threaded (is it?). With single-threaded subtitle rendering, the subs alone can easily get you dropped frames, even with a null decoder. And even if it is multi-threaded, and would therefore cooperate better with a multithreaded decoder, you still never know who's the dropframe culprit - decoder or sub renderer alone or the combination of both.
