Carl Eugen, Thanks for the info. This is what I wanted to know.

I may misunderstand the question, but decoding is a deterministic process (if that is what you want to know).
General system load and other factors that are very difficult to foresee in real life of course affect decoding speed.

SIMD (mmx) optimizations are hopefully used on CPUs that support it, hardware decoding is only used if you explicitly requested it.
