Early termination in encoding partition search In the partition search, the encoder checks all possible partitionings in the superblock's partition search tree. This patch proposed a set of criteria for partition search early termination, which effectively decided whether or not to terminate the search in current branch based on the "skippable" result of the quantized transform coefficients. The "skippable" information was gathered during the partition mode search, and no overhead calculations were introduced. This patch gives significant encoding speed gains without sacrificing the quality. Borg test results: 1. At speed 1, stdhd set: psnr: +0.074%, ssim: +0.093%; derf set: psnr: -0.024%, ssim: +0.011%; 2. At speed 2, stdhd set: psnr: +0.033%, ssim: +0.100%; derf set: psnr: -0.062%, ssim: +0.003%; 3.
