SIMD, MMX and even 3dNow I believe (I encoded on an Athlon 700), I think they
even say it's SMPable, but basically it's a patch on lamer (which was already
one of the fastest encoders around) with an awful lot of asm optimisation. I
use it with Grip, nice thing about Grip is that it'll rip from CD and encode
at the same time, it's actually quite entertaining to see the progress bar on
the encoding zip past the progress bar on the ripping (which is already about
2x), just thinking back on the good old days when encoding a song would take
an hour :/
