I cant say anything about this file as ive not looked at it, but dv renders
macroblocks in a random order that could be rather hard on the cpu caches.

as ive already sugested to roman but have not heared a awnser for yet is
to try to replace movq by movntq in put_pixels_clamped_mmx() and check
that thats also used. It would be interresting to know if that has
any effect on speed.
Also changing the decoder to decode MBs in a less random order would likely
lead to large speed gains.
