    First modification of multi-thread decoder · ba2e107d

    This is the first modification of VP8 multi-thread decoder, which uses
    same threads to decode macroblocks and then do loopfiltering for each
    frame.
    
    Inspired by Rob Clark, synchronization was done on every 8 macroblocks
    instead of every macroblock to reduce lock contention.
    
    Comparing with the original code, this implementation gave about 15%-
    20% performance gain while decoding my test clips on a Core2 Quad
    platform (Linux).
    
    The work is not done yet.
    
    Test on other platforms are needed.
