gollark: I dropped the quality settings and the AV1 encoding manages an *astonishing* 7FPS for a 400xsomething 12FPS video.
gollark: I really need to figure out why monitoring seems to say that the fans hit 19k RPM every few minutes, though, since they... are not 19kRPM fans.
gollark: It's also maxing out half my CPU cores or something.
gollark: Apparently this AV1 transcode is running at literally less than 1FPS.
