Not really - this is a function of the system rather than anything else 
- when you see the drop count (the last digit on the line) increasing, 
then you are approaching your systems limmitations, and playing around 
with size/quality can help.

Most things are pretty optimal already - you may need to play with the 
DivX quality (-dq switch) to get the best possible quality for your CPU 
power.
