ChitraMaya vs. Jasna - same machine, same models, head to head

Same 2h41m 1080p60 file as the earlier benchmark table (578,704 frames). Everything matched as closely as the two tools allow: same detection model (lada_mosaic_detection_model_v4_fast @ threshold 0.25), same restoration model (lada_mosaic_restoration_model_generic_v1.2 - byte-identical file), Max Clip 90, FP16, TensorRT engines compiled on the machine by each tool, RTX Super-Res 4x secondary on both, HEVC at quality 18. Hardware is deliberately the budget case: the ~$100 ex-mining RTX 3060 Mobile 6GB, on a Xeon W-1250 with 8GB RAM.

ToolStackWall time
Jasna 0.10.0TRT engines + RTX Super-Res 4x2h 36m
ChitraMaya 1.61.01TRT engines + RTX Super-Res 4x (matched stack)2h 08m
ChitraMaya 1.61.01same + Temporal Fix strength 3 (optional stabilizer)3h 07m

Notes:
  • On the matched stack, ChitraMaya finished 28 minutes (~18%) ahead on this hardware.
  • Temporal Fix is a ChitraMaya-only stage (temporal stabilization of restored regions, which Jasna does not offer); it costs ~59 minutes on this title. A quality/speed choice, now measured - switch it off for maximum speed.
  • The two ChitraMaya runs produced identical statistics (331,330 detected frames, 333,624 restored, in both) - only the clock changed, so the Temporal Fix cost is measured cleanly. The pipeline is deterministic.
  • Rate control differs slightly by necessity: ChitraMaya constant QP 18 vs Jasna CQ 18.
  • CUDA Sysmem Fallback Policy set per each tool's own recommendation (Jasna: Prefer No Sysmem Fallback, applied per-app).
  • Detector footnote: v4_fast and the older v2 model found nearly identical coverage on this movie at the same threshold (331,330 vs 328,657 detected frames, a 0.8% difference).
  • Movie ID and full methodology on request (DM).

Both tools were run in good faith at their best known configuration on this machine.
