Hot on the heels of 0.12.4b, MAD 0.12.5b is now available with even more performance improvements.
This version incorporates the long-awaited Huffman decoding optimization that performs requantization in the same step.
Many thanks to Andre McCurdy for his help that led to this release.
There are still a few more improvements to be made, but this probably represents the bulk of what can be optimized for significant gains.
The source code release:

0.12.3b : 18.5% 0.12.4b : 16.5% 0.12.5b : 15.2% Nitrane 2.72b : 13.5%
(PPro 233 + 160 kbps file)
<silly> When will we be able to play with dithering in the plug-in ? </silly>
Last question : which compiler do you use for the plug-in binary ? Cygwin ?
Thanks once again for your wonderful work !
Bye,
Pierre
