In other words using more than 8bits for things like resize, denoise or whatever in my opinion gives so little improvements, that it not worth even one extra cpu cycle spent on it.

This rises another question. Is it possible to estimate how big is speed difference between similar colorspace (or some other) conversions (8bit in - 8bit out) using this plugin compared to avisynth? (assuming everything is done in 1 thread)
If course it is, just set vs to use one thread and use ffms2 as the video source in both and it should be very easy to compare 1:1.
