"top" doesn't tell much useful information. You can try mplayer with
"-benchmark" option to find out the truth. 
But it look like not the CPU that's too slow, but most likely the X-Server
isn't accellerated for Video output (-vo xv in mplayer), or MTRR
registers aren't set up. What graphics card do you have? What does
the "xvinfo" command say? 

With an accerated X-Server, Celeron-600 should be sufficent for DVDs. The
CSS decryptions isn't much of a deal...
