Was it Dark Shikari? I remember there were lots of threading optimisation done, but that was... ~2010 time frame.

I really wish he is still working in the video encoding scene.

Yes, was Jason, in 2012 iirc. Sliced-thread lookahead patch circa may 2012. He was working at gaikai at the time doing amazing things with cloud game streaming.
