hah, i wondered why vobsubs took forever. i always thought it was due
to the 11mb subtitle files.

other ideas for speeding up mplayer:

split libs into own files, and load them only when needed. so mplayer
binary doesnt have to load a builtin xvid or faad decoder every time it
plays using ffodivx and ffaac. or doesnt have to load 3mb of video
decoders to play an mp3.
