Please ignore this information. It was true for ffmpeg included as part of
MPlayer 1.0pre8. 

The latest SVN version of ffmpeg is actually faster with gcc 4.1.1 on ffmp3
decoder. But disabling asm optimizations in mpegaudiodec.c, you can 
reproduce this performance regression quite easily.

gcc 4.1.1 with asm: 3.0 seconds
gcc 4.1.1 without asm: 5.8 seconds

That's not very relevant for mp3 decoding now, but obviously gcc 4.1.1 can
produce worse code than older versions sometimes.
