it was something like 70% 110% 8% at max (most time below)
ie enough for decoding, but the output was too slow. W/o sound 
it comes down to 65% 95% 0% (max). Both with -vo xmga, Xv is
about 20% solwer (but this can be my X settings).

Hm... I'm sure it's either my CPU (K6-II 350) or the data path.
Because my graphics card is quite fast (matrox G200).

Aha. I dont know much about video handling, so it was just a guess.

PS: here the output of ./fastmem.sh

k6 : v2-v1=1254431683 = 3576014us  (27.964fps)   41.9MB/s
mmx: v2-v1=1184733322 = 3377323us  (29.609fps)   44.4MB/s
mga-k6 : v2-v1=5132236486 = 14630468us  (6.835fps)   10.3MB/s
mga-mmx: v2-v1=3711806190 = 10581243us  (9.451fps)   14.2MB/s

(why is k6 slower than mmx ?)
