My gut was right. I cannot find settings or workflow that is worth the increased compression time. By going to another format/timeline you can get different looks, but nothing that really pops out. There are slight differences, which could be perceived by some as better, but to others maybe it is worse. And the differences are definitly slight! Even at 200%, you need to examine frame by frame for the differences, nothing that is worth noting at 100% in real time.
With all of this in mind, along with the almost 2X time it takes to render/compress, I can't justify it at all.
p.s. I didn't like any of the results when I applied gaussian blur, ranging in values from .1 to 1.
