For home users, just use the slowest preset you can stand
Thanks for the information! I want it to look good, I usually encode at Very Slow on x264. However, 4k/x265 on a 16 threaded processor takes WAY to much time lol.

Slow has some useful additions like a better motion search method and more rate distortion optimization going on.
Thanks for the input
