Fast x264 settings run faster with x86 x264. Including fast first passes which I see are ~5-10% faster. For example:

1280x720, preset medium, 2000 kbps, windows 7 x64, athlon ii 620

x86 from command line
pass 1: encoded 1277 frames, 48.40 fps, 1970.02 kb/s
pass 2: encoded 1277 frames, 28.44 fps, 2000.92 kb/s

x64 launcher
[First Pass]
encoded 1277 frames, 45.61 fps, 1969.83 kb/s
[Second Pass]
encoded 1277 frames, 29.02 fps, 2000.89 kb/s

Also I did a benchmark with the same CPU/source.

Preset: Ultrafast

No need to use an external tool. As I have created the process(es), I already have the handles to suspend/resume them directly.

And if you click the "X" button, the encoding will be paused. Click "No" to resume...

Thanks that works.
