We already have WebM VP8 output, so don't have to generate anything new -- they'll play back immediately once the switch is flipped. :) VP9 encoding is also much slower still, so I'm waiting on adding it until we have a combination of the next major update to libvpx (not yet released, but has HUGE improvements to multithreaded encoder) and/or reworking our transcoding system to "chunk" things into small pieces that can be farmed out to many processes. -- brion
