On second thought aint this going to waste too much memory on small 
packets? If packets are queued somewhere it can make a huge difference if 
every buffer is 200kb...

Does the speedup goes away if only unbound packets make use of the buffer 
pool?

Thanks,
Marton

I tried these two LG 4k HDR sample videos, and the pool was never bigger
than 3 to 5 buffers for the entire demuxing process.

I'll bench again with your suggestion, but i don't think it will be a
problem even as is.

That is the case if there is no packet buffering, like in ffmpeg using a 
single input. But in ffplay or a lot of other apps packets are 
pre-buffered to remove the latency of the source media. An app could have 
assumed that if it buffers 1 MB of packets it will not consume a lot more 
than 1 MB of memory.

Maybe we should create log2(MAX_PACKET_SIZE) number of buffer pools 
instead? In that case the memory wasted is at most 100%... Still not very 
good, but a lot more acceptable.

I don't think that's possible, or worth trying. There's currently no way
to query the amount of buffers in a given pool, and definitely no way to
know what buffers will be returned to a pool once all their references
are freed, other than keeping track of them within the muxer.

I'll try limiting the usage of the pool to unbound packets only, but i
suspect it will not make much of a difference compared to no pool usage
at all.

I meant something like this:

required_size = pes->total_size + AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING;
index = av_log2(requred_size);
if (!ts->pools[index]) {
    pool_size = FFMIN(MAX_PES_PAYLOAD + AV_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING, 2 << index);
    ts->pools[index] = av_buffer_pool_init(pool_size);
}
pes->buffer = av_buffer_pool_get(ts->pool[index]);

Yeah, I expect this outcome as well.

Ah, you meant several pools. Seems a bit too convoluted for what
ultimately is a relatively small gain...

So in the end it did make a difference, at least for these samples. Not
sure how often unbound PES payloads happen in mpegts, since i don't have
other samples at hand to test and bench, so i'm inclined to either do it
this way, or just drop the patch.
