Okay.

Is the idea to have a detailed comparison (measurement values, feature
comparison) between the TLS implementations and then decide if we accept
or drop the patch?
Do you have already defined threshold values for disk space and
performance by which you will decide if it is worth to integrate mbedTLS
in FFmpeg?

Thomas.
