Agreed, and to omit confusion: on my old laptop I use -spuaa 3 
(default and still nice value), on my much more powerfull desktop 
(AthlonXP 3200) I use spuaa 4, and I do not care much about its 
CPU usage, 'cause most of my CPU is eaten by video postprocessing, 
precisely by 
-vf pp ha:a/va:a,unsharp=l7x7:0.8:c7x7:0.8,pp=dr:a,screenshot
where unsharp is definitely most resource-expensive thing (-vo gl 
is used and result is too blurry on my taste with my nvidia card). 
Well, on HDTV I turn sharping off, of couse.
