Do you have a fresh assembler on AMD machine? If you don't, xvid configure
will automatically turn off all MMX/SSE/SSE2 code. Your build will be 
slow as a drunk snail.

Offtopic: is it possible to create a config file with default options 
for mencoder?
If yes - that file should be checked also, it may accidentally contain 
some CPU-hungry
denoise filter. Most possibly - it's foolish idea.

I have 60-70fps on the first pass on 3500+ and about 12-14 on second one.
P-III-1000 gives 6-7 times slower performance, so I think it's normal 
numbers.
