MIN BENCHMARK%: VC:  3.1039% VO: 59.7887% A:  0.0066 % =  62.8993%

TOTAL BENCHMARK: from 1001 frames should be dropped: 612 (at least)

REAL RESULTS: dropped=938 too slow=222 too fast=0
=============================================================================

XP AVE VC+VO: 99.73%
NON XP AVE VC+VO: 85.59%
14.14% of AVE performance degradation is payment for thread
147 vs 938 numbers of dropped frames is profit from thread (6.38 times)

In this connexion the first page of mplayer has a lie.
The correct phrase should be:
*If mplayer doesn't help then mplayerxp WILL HELP you!*

Else, it seems as distributing of FUD and anti-advertisment.


Best regards! Nick

P.S.: Please don't flame me!
