[Mplayer-users] Too slow playback, how to estimate speed gap?

no! read it carefully! its said your _system_ is too slow. it's usually
videocard or bus speed, sometimes cpu. btw 400mhz is really slow, at
least for high-res dvd or divx.

but as framebuffer is rgb-only, it eats some more cpu (and double/triple
bus bandwith!) for yuv->rgb conversion. maybe video bandwith is too slow?
do you have MTRR set up?

yes, use -benchmark option and RTFM.
