So, those 8 bit files are smaller than their corresponding 10 bit files. So your 10 bit encodes being a larger file size seems to fit that trend.
Most groups that put out both 8 and 10 bit versions tend to end up with smaller file sizes for the 10 bit from what I've seen. Reencodes are different matter since there may be other variables betwen the encodes - 8 vs. 10 bit is not the only setting that effects file size in H.264.

There's currently no DirectShow version of libass so you can't use it with MPC-HC or CCCP.

OTOH, on my main system - which I'd been avoiding converting because I didn't want to deal with all that again - I just uploaded the LAV codecs. Literally in 2 minutes I was playing 10-bit on my old MPC after clicking two boxes in the MPC options menu. Didn't have to uninstall anything or make any other tweaks. So far - knock wood - it's playing flawlessly. Far, far easier than any other method I've seen so far.
So you're using MPC-HC's own subtitle renderer, I take it? And which output mode?

If my experience with the X120e is any indication, I wouldn't count on 10 bit playing on a netbook due to performance issues.
