Description

The README says to create an issue for suggestions on how to make it faster :)

Research direction

Start with the README guidance and review the linked WebCodecs documentation, WICG proposal, and Chromium issue. Determine whether WebCodecs can replace or complement the current encoding path and what browser support and feedback are required. Done means a concrete implementation scope and compatibility expectations are agreed.
