In fairness, fast can be done nowadays what with decent hardware encode acceleration finally being available. Both ATI Stream and NVIDIA CUDA have greatly improved picture quality compared to previous iterations making them viable alternatives to slow CPU encoding. Intel has even joined the fray with their QuickSync technology.
Heck, even entry level computers now (with dual-core Celeron Sandy Bridge or AMD Llano) are comparable to top of the line PC's back in Q4'07.
