That iphome paper used a random git checkout from the day the bitstream was frozen, and claimed it was an official release, which always struck me as somwhere on the stupid/devious spectrum.

The first actual VP9 release was about 6 months later and even then I dont think they'd done much tuning for speed. Some parts of Google get criticised for building open source products privately, but others that develop in the open have their openness abused.
