+Subject: [PATCH] vp8 encoder: Workaround to force perforamce mode encode
+
+This is a tradeoff between quality and performance to
+save power. Use quality-level two as the default
+which will disable a couple of high intensity operations.
+For eg: There won't be 16xMe layer in the hierarhical motion
+estimations which should save significant number of cycles.
+Also number of pak passes are now limited to 1.
