Video playback and CPU optimisations go hand in hand. |

One video I have had for a long time, I could never play it at all on |
| 8 |
any of my computers and I could not beleive what I saw next... |
| 9 |
I got a new PC and thought to give it a try. It worked painfully, |
| 10 |
skipping and using 100% of one of my CPU cores. I was sad and thought |
| 11 |
this video might have been corrupt. After a wave of cleanup, I had |
| 12 |
removed all CPU optimisation flags from my make.conf (I was originally |
| 13 |
negating many, like -sse, etc, so I left it "to my profile" to choose |
| 14 |
what was needed) and recompiled everything. After that, the same |
| 15 |
movie played in the best quality I had ever seen and CPU usage was |
| 16 |
below 5% !!!! I was even able to open 12 movies (4x3) all playing at |
| 17 |
the same time (this was unthinkable before I optimized my system). |
| 18 |
Anyway, keep in mind that my particular starting scenario was that I |
| 19 |
had "un-optimized" it long ago! |

Good luck! |
