h.264 tool benchmark

[malikcis]

Where can I find a benchmark report of the h264 tools?
for example:
cabac: 10% bitrate saving
1/4 pel search: 5% bitrate saving
loop filter: ...
etc...

For CABAC vs. CAVLC there are these:

This is very interesting. I did not know CABAC is better for higher quantizers.
Any idea where to find more such benchmarks?

In reports from JVT meetings from before h.264 final drafts, for example; each option was evaluated before being added to the standard, afaik.

Almost in all cases CABAC is better than CAVLC.
I am aware only one extreme case when CAVLC is slightely better than CABAC.
If you encode all MBs in a picture as skip MBs then CAVLC encoding provides less bits than CABAC one.

Almost in all cases CABAC is better than CAVLC.

No question about that. Malikcis commented on the graph that shows ~8 % bitrate difference in favour of CABAC at low QPs, increasing to ~20 % at QP 30, and higher as QP rises.
