The PC is about 50% faster with "the same CPU power" and "the same
graphics hardware (performancewise)". This is due to c2p and better
coding on the PC decoders.

Never was.

Because the c2p needs about 10% of the total decoding time. The
best algorithms are maybe twice as fast and the decoding would
speed up by a whopping 5%.

This relation will change when other parts of the decoder run
faster.
