Of course these are implementation faults.  QuickTime and native DVD
players have absolutely sufficient performance.  On second thought, so
has vlc.  Something fishy is going on with MPlayer on PPC, I'll have to
investigate :-/

Anyway, my point was that you cannot just look at the CPU alone, you
have to look at the environment it runs.
