Why did you use such retardedly low quality settings with x264?

At a minimum your goal should be to match the quality of the two; it makes no sense to test two encoders against each other in terms of speed at vastly different compression settings.

Also, if you're going to compare two encoders, use raw video input, not a highly compressed H.264 stream whose decoding method differs between the two encoders.
