At the moment mplayer is a single threaded aplication, but, if i
understood the future plans right, it will be one with 2 processes.
But I'm not sure if they will be split that they can take full atvantage
of SMP machines

It's a lot slower. Here on my PII 400 it was imposible to watch
some movies with fbdev while over mga_vid i had 40% free cpu.

But this was a long time ago (somewhere about 0.17 release),
dont know how it is now, but it shouldnt have changed too much.
