Speed feature to skip split partition based on var Adds a speed feature to disable split partition search based on a given threshold on the source variance. A tighter threshold derived from the threshold provided is used to also disable horizontal and vertical partitions. Results on derfraw300: threshold = 16, psnr = -0.057%, speedup ~1% (football) threshold = 32, psnr = -0.150%, speedup ~4-5% (football) threshold = 64, psnr = -0.570%, speedup ~10-12% (football) Results on stdhdraw250: threshold = 32, psnr = -0.18%, speedup is somewhat more than derf because of a larger number of smoother blocks at higher resolution. Based on these results, a threshold of 32 is chosen for speed 1, and a threshold of 64 is chosen for speeds 2 and above. Change-Id: If08912fb6c67fd4242d12a0d094783a99f52f6c6
