+                Vector128<byte> a0 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a));
+                Vector128<byte> a1 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a.Slice(WebpConstants.Bps, 8)));
+                Vector128<byte> a2 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a.Slice(WebpConstants.Bps * 2, 8)));

Slicing has some unnecessary extra costs, if input is safe we can do everything with ~~pointer~~ Unsafe arithmetics:

Suggested change

Vector128<byte> a0 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a));

Vector128<byte> a1 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a.Slice(WebpConstants.Bps, 8)));

Vector128<byte> a2 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a.Slice(WebpConstants.Bps * 2, 8)));

Vector128<byte> a3 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a.Slice(WebpConstants.Bps * 3, 8)));

ref byte aRef = ref MemoryMarshal.GetReference(a);

Vector128<byte> a0 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref aRef);

Vector128<byte> a1 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref Unsafe.Add(ref aRef, WebpConstants.Bps));

Vector128<byte> a2 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref Unsafe.Add(ref aRef, WebpConstants.Bps * 2));

Vector128<byte> a3 = Unsafe.As<byte, Vector128<byte>>(ref Unsafe.Add(ref aRef, WebpConstants.Bps * 3));

Same for b.

        [MethodImpl(InliningOptions.ShortMethod)]
        public static int GetSse(Span<byte> a, Span<byte> b, int w, int h)


This method name confuses me shouldn't it be Vp84X4?

Vp84X4 is confusing because of 84. Parent method can be Vp8_4x4 while this one can be Vp8_4X4Scalar. Or maybe Vp8_4x4Scalar could be inlined if it's not used anywhere else?

I agree that the name is not ideal, but its called VP8SSE4x4 in the original libwebp source and I wanted to keep the method names to be as close to the original as possible to make it easier to follow/commpare the original code.
A better name might have been CalculateDistortion4x4, but again I am still in favor of keeping the names similar to the original.

This method name confuses me shouldn't it be Vp84X4?

GetSse is not called Vp84X4 because of the variable parameters w and h.

I tried to rename the methods: 7e20c5d
Is that better (or worse)?

Much better yes 👍

+            Array.Clear(this.YAcLevels, 0, this.YAcLevels.Length);

+            Array.Clear(this.Derr, 0, this.Derr.Length);


Unrelated to the main thing in the PR, but Vp8ModeScore is also a good candidate to be made a value type with fixed buffers.

yes seems reasonable, Vp8ModeScore makes up the most of the allocations during encoding, but I might try that in a different PR.

Definitely worth a look after.
