For example:
--ctu 64 --merange 57 (2.5fps)
--ctu 32 --merange 26 (2.83fps) +13% speed

I'd get nervous about having a small merange when working at 4K resolution, but that would be content dependent. Visual comparison is probably required here.
And most 4K content can wind up using 64x64 CTUs. It's probably a bigger deal at lower bitrates.
