Due to our AVHWDevice infrastructure, where API users are offered a way to derive contexts rather than always create new one, our filterchains, being supported by a single hardware device context, can grow to considerable size. Hence, in such situations, using the maximum amount of queues the device offers can be benefitial to eliminating bottlenecks where queue submissions on the same family have to wait for the previous one to finish. |
