I mean, unless you've got a hardware accelerator (which won't be a thing before multiple years from AV2's release, and possibly more due to its complexity), it will be measurably much worse than current codecs.
I like torturing my CPU.
jokes aside although it will likely keep the slow aspect of encoding like it's older sibling, I think something like av1an can help speed it up nicely. not only that, if there is a svt-AV2 that will also speed up the process likely
