[MPlayer-dev-eng] mencoder very slow on x86-64 architecture

[Arpi]

Hi,

does x86-64 able to run x86-i686 32-bit assembly code at all (without extra
prefixing)? the mmx/sse/etc optioms in mencoder/libavcodec are all written
for 32bit x86 platform.

lol
you should check libavcodec/i386/cputest.c too

btw why dont you try&patch mplayer cvs isntead? that way you could send
patches back and getting them into next releases. 0.90 is quite old and
buggy.
