I'm fairly confident my numbers are in the ballpark but it's possible there was another app running or something else going on with my PC. I'll check more carefully tonight after my current encode is finished. Thanks for the suggestions in the meantime.

In the sense of quality per bitrate? If you were looking for near-transparent encodes of typical film material (not too damaged, grainy, soft, etc.), what crf range would you recommend testing? edit2: On Slower, that is.

I think I'd definitely need newer hardware to go with slower. I've only got an i5-6500 Skylake. On Slow, I can set an encode running before going to bed and it will be done by the time I get home from work the next day, which is reasonably convenient.
