I've just done a comparison clip between your version and my currently-working-on version, I've had to RAR it up into separate files to upload because I always have trouble FTP'ing large files (connection usually dies when it gets far into the transfer, needed to re-upload 6 of the pieces)
It's a 20mb anamorphic PAL mpeg2 clip spread across 15 RAR files, encoded 9-pass at 2000kbps because any higher and the filesize would be massive and this level of compression is enough to show the difference between the clips.

01.rar 02.rar 03.rar 04.rar 05.rar 06.rar 07.rar 08.rar 09.rar 10.rar 11.rar 12.rar 13.rar 14.rar 15.rar

The first clip is mine and the 2nd is yours, looking at the same clip back to back from our two sources/cleanup methods, each has temporal smoothing because the source laserdiscs do, but on top of that it seems like mine has a near constant level of picture noise throughout the clip whilst yours lessens during static moments and gets worse during motion.
I'm trying to avoid using filters that do any temporal smoothing at all with the intention that the picture grain stays level throughout the film(s), because I prefer a slightly grainy 'natural' image to one that looks like it's been squeezed through a bunch of filters trying to make the picture look good at the expense of detail during motion.
