I thought about buying a new computer, but got side-tracked by fact that both CPU's are being used (it is now July 2011) only about 45-50% each and less than 75% of RAM is used up. Not sure what torture my ancient Nvidia card is going through (256 MB from 2004), but amazingly I just bought a new card, GTX 470 1.3 GHz and that ran a lot slower. Tempted to upgrade, but not sure what to upgrade. Puzzling. Interesting this simple trick with the mplayer switch worked better than any upgrade I have tried so far. I am using Slackware 13.37 with KDE4, which is most current. Trick above with mplayer switches just helped me play full HD 1080p @ 30 fps

Very impressive indeed. I tried to play a 1080p movie (Matrix 1999) on my Thinkpad T61 (with intel GFX) with your suggested mplayer options and it runs 100% flawlessly, no matter how much action is going on on screen. Very nice. Wow… thanks!! Very impressive indeed.
