[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] bmovl2 updates

[Jason Tackaberry]

Hi,

I have made several improvements to bmovl2 since my last post, so I
thought I would share the most recent update.  Here is a list of
changes:

      * Image identifiers are arbitrary strings instead of integers.
      * Images stored using linked list; there is no longer any limit to
        the number of images.
      * Blending process now more precise (thanks to Billy Biggs for his
        advice).
      * MMX optimizations.
      * Some decent optimizations for non-MMX.

I've written a test program as well (it requires imlib2), which you can
fetch here:

Performance is the most significant update.  On my Athlon 1400, CPU
utilization of mplayer dropped from 80% to 45% for my test case.  

I'm happy to hear about your comments or suggestions.  

Cheers,
Jason.
