Slice level decoding (MB/CTU) is performed on GPU, it is not so correct to compare with.
Anyway, it is double work - 1st time is DecodeHeader and then DecodeFrameAsync will do the same
(NAL splitting, headers' parsing). In case of big NALs (4K AVC intra slices as e.g.) this might be a CPU burden.

I believe Dmitry R. means changing of DPB size due to changing of level or SPS :: vui_parameters :: max_dec_frame_buffering (AVC).
Changing of profile may definitely demand re-initialization, for e.g. main (8b 420) -> rext (8b 420).

Could u please give me more details about that case?

DecodeFrameAsync should return MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM.
Where I may find '/fate-suite/h264/reinit-large_420_8-to-small_420_8.h264' clip to
Check what is going on w/ sample_decode?

Actually, if something is changing (new SPS), no decoding is performed, DecodeFrameAsync just returns
MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM, there is nothing to recover (rollback).
