Videoconvert needs to be optimized

I  try to experiment videoconvert_convert_matrix8 function.

#define CLIP(X) ( (X) > 255 ? 255 : (X) < 0 ? 0 : X)
#define RGB2Y(R, G, B) CLIP(( (  66 * (R) + 129 * (G) +  25 * (B) + 128) >>
8) +  16)
#define RGB2U(R, G, B) CLIP(( ( -38 * (R) -  74 * (G) + 112 * (B) + 128) >>
8) + 128)
#define RGB2V(R, G, B) CLIP(( ( 112 * (R) -  94 * (G) -  18 * (B) + 128) >>
8) + 128)

static void
videoconvert_convert_matrix8 (VideoConvert * convert, gpointer pixels)
{
  int i,t;
  int y, u, v;
  int r, g, b;
  guint8 *p = pixels;

  for (i = 0; i < convert->width; i++) {
    t=i*4;
    y=t+1;
    u=y+1;
    v=u+1;
    r=p[t+1];
    g=p[t+2];
    b=p[t+3];
    p[t] = RGB2Y(r,g,b);
    p[u] = RGB2U(r,g,b);
    p[v] = RGB2V(r,g,b);
  }
}

20% is a nice boost as for me.
