Unfortunately I have different opinion on this. Outside of professional 3D and 2.5D editing software, where high bitdepth often used for better control in manipulating with color or may represent something like strength of light that goes through less than 100% opaque obstacles (and also maybe x264's 10bit streams too), I don't believe in high bitdeph. 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)
