Yes, that's it.

That is very possible, if video is not played at full speed! With -ao null 
I get something like 1 or 2 fps on Sparc Solaris, too (theere's no problem 
to play fullspeed with -nosound or -ao sdl, -ao sun) and benchmark tells 

BENCHMARKs: V:   0.221s VO:   0.102s A:   0.047s Sys:  29.148s =   29.518s
BENCHMARK%: V:  0.7475% VO:  0.3444% A:  0.1602% Sys: 98.7480% = 100.0000%

Maybe simply the -ao null feature sould be fixed somehow?
