Is there a way to disable thread-input when using more than 1 threads for x264? I'm using the multithreaded Avisynth build for my scripts and would like to test different configurations regarding performance.

Edit x264.c.

Why do you think it would help? Non-threaded input with N encoder threads is pretty much equal to threaded-input with N-c encoder threads (with c somewhere between 0 and 1 depending on how slow the input is), except that it still has the full overhead and sync costs of N encoder threads.

I was just thinking whether it is useful to disable since Avisynth spawns its own extra processing thread(s). But if you say it isn't useful, I know it isn't :)
