Well, in my case specifically the Intel OpenGL driver happened to it.
It calls strcmp 1 million (!!) times during startup, accounting for about
30% of MPlayer's startup time including decoding the first frame.
Other OpenGL stuff and the dynamic linker make up another 25 %.
The only even remotely relevant things in MPlayer for my case are reading
the AVI index and the h261_probe function - the later one IMO is strange given
it is only processing 32 kB of data at most.
