I wanted to see how and how much each encoder breaks under pressure, but I guess you make a pretty good point.
My post above is updated with two higher tiers of bitrates (which were all originally set by HEVC's constant quantization of 27, 32, and 37). I added reference shots too. Based off those, I think Netflix/iTunes/Hulu-level streaming bitrates are gonna produce significantly higher quality in the coming years.
VP9 and HEVC seem to be on par at about QP=27, with VP9 doing consistently better on the Basketball clip. Maybe VP9 does really well in areas with motion (some of this can be seen on the bicyclers* in the Park clip). I'd like to find out more, but some speed optimization commits are starting to come in the libvpx git, and for my sanity, I think I'll wait some weeks for more to land.
* Hmm after looking at the clips some more, I think that VP9 gives more bitrate than necessary to motion, as the bicyclers get attention even though the entire background suffers.
