Yepp, just noted more strangeness, the linux script file is about four times
as big as the OpenBSD one...

The former ends with

V: 236.6  5667  19% 10%  0.0% 0 0 0%

the latter with

V:  74.6  1782  17%  9%  0.0% 0 0 0%

Guess that's what you get for scripting....

I'll have to redo this under more controlled forms.

Well, I was looking more for how mplayer would perfrom for a general user and
he or she is not very like to boot init=/bin/sh :)

Hmm, there are other who are better suited for that.
