I don't know that much about video codecs, could decoding performance improve, given the reduced input size?

Decoding speed can be affected by encoding choices. Meta and others have taken advantage of this to specifically target low end phone software decode.

I believe it's basically about scoring decode operations on both quality and decode speed impact to optimise both goals at once.

Doubt. Check your igpu or gpu should have dedicated hardware decoder for h264.
