Hello Selur,
as suggested I tested VSGAN. The encoding speed is better, now a 30s movie is encoded in about 30m. This imply that a 1h movie is encoded in about 2.5 days.
But the faster speed is at cost of lower resizing quality.
For the comparison I performed a 4x resize of the following picture

Just for comparison the image encoded with Lanczos+sharpen is the following

The image resized with VSGAN using the model 4xESRGAN.pth is the following

The image resized with VSGAN using the model 4xPSNR.pth is the following

Finally the image resized with RealSR using the model DF2K_JPEG is the following

In my opinion the image obtained using RealSR is still the best among the tested resizer.
