no, mplayer gets faster with each version, but sometimes there are bugs which 
cause some slowdown, but if something like this happens than some smart user 
will send us a complete bugreport (compiler ver, config.h, config.mak, 
mplayer -v output, mplayer -benchmark output, info about the used video & 
audio codec, cpu, ...) for BOTH the fast & slow versions.
some users might even download several cvs snapshots and tell us exactly when 
the slowdown was introduced, with all this it is possible to fix such bugs as 
we then know where to look, sadly there are allso users who dont give us any 
information which could be used to track down the problem, in such a case we 
can only guess, and this allmost never works

lets see: (-vo xv -vc ffdivx)
current CVS:
BENCHMARKs: VC:   5.066s VO:   2.161s A:   0.000s Sys:   0.445s =    7.672s

0.90pre4
BENCHMARKs: VC:   5.622s VO:   2.223s A:   0.000s Sys:   0.435s =    8.280s

so as u can see its faster for us :)
