Seems the CPU utilization I am seeing when utilizing mplayer is higher
than what it should be.  I've compared the utilization on media player
classic running a file at 2x speed against mplayer running at 1x,
mplayer still comes out higher.  I wonder why that is.

Sometimes, also I got a message from mplayer that my system is too slow.
Among the suggested possible workarounds (cache, ao dsl, etc).  Doesn't
seem to help much.

I've attached a couple of the mplayer output.




Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
  - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
  - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Broken file
  - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
  - Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
  - Try -nocache.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.
