Measuring quality in relation to speed of the codec isn't a very good qualitative measure and is completely dependent on the the power of the machine your using, the optimization of the code, etc. because if x264 can use 16 reference frames and get 40fps but DivX can only use 2 reference frames and still get 40fps then the quality will be skewed in the direction of x264.
Speed can be used in a test to chart the exact tradeoff of quality/speed rather than comparing it for absolute quality which is what your test is supposedly meant to measure.
