This is really the biggest one. Google has been using low-resolution test material for VP10, and back in September [1] were claiming only a 10% reduction over VP9 on CIF resolution material (352x288). Neither VP9 nor HEVC get anywhere close to their claimed 50% improvement over H.264 on this kind of material (both save around 20%).
So seeing 7...8% reductions at similar resolutions just from a better encoder is pretty significant. It would be great to see how it scales beyond 720p.
