[MPlayer-users] workarounds for slow hardware

[Dan Jacobson]

In file:///usr/share/doc/mplayer-doc/en/faq.html#playback:
  Your CPU and/or video card and/or bus is too slow. MPlayer displays a
  message if this is the case (and the dropped frames counter goes up
  fast).

OK, but it should give some workarounds for one to try in the
meantime, even if less ideal, short of going out and buying new
hardware.
