No. You don't need runtime CPU detection  - it's somehow broken and in
result compiled code is much slower thatn bare i386 code.
You need to compile it to i386 code, thus you need flag
"--target=i386-linux":

CFLAGS=i386 ./configure --enable-largefiles --disable-runtime-cpudetection
--target=i386-linux

Yes. CPU detection is made during each mplayer/mencoder run with special
CPU detection code compiled with this "--enable-runtime-cpudetection"
flag and after that some parts of code is replaced with special compiled
routine but... as I understand, this detection is made every time that
routine began to be used so if something is used in a loop then this
runtime CPU detection is run also in a loop with it and in every loop it
detects CPU and changes routine to compiled to your CPU wich causes
massive slowdown as the result.
