The quality is much higher than ffmpeg. Encoding is slower. GIF works like a canvas that can be painted on with 256 colors at a time. This encoder takes care to reuse existing colors on the canvas as efficiently as possible. Also most encoders generate ugly palettes (e.g. for a start throwing out 3 of 8 bits of precision) and use naive dithering. This one spends so much effort on getting optimial palettes, that if I were to get VC funding for it, I'd say it does machine learning.
