Well, shoot. My impatience got the best of me yet again! I'll re-run the cmdline, and this time I'll wait for longer than 30 seconds. Thanks Jonatan!

update: it has now processed 19 pictures, based on the list it outputs on screen, but I still don't see multi-threading. Average CPU usage hovers at 5-6% and it looks like only a single core/thread is running at 100%.

...okay, I noticed now there is *some* life in the graphs for 7-8 threads but those peak at 5% before quickly dying back down to 0%. Not quite what I expected tbh.

update #2: I changed "-threads -1" to "threads 20" and now re-running the cmdline. A moment ago xvc's CPU usage hit 47%, while 10-ish threads were running at 100%. Encoder spat a number of lines of text on screen, followed by CPU usage dropping to 15% ... It jumped to 25% while I was typing that previous sentence ... And now to 45%. Here comes another set of text on screen, CPU use goes down to 10% and the cycle starts again.
