We don't have such a cool graphics card here (or machine for that matter)
(We 'just' SubBlade 1000 1*600MHz with Creator3D or Elite3D m6).
I've gatherd that the XVR-1000 and above line of graphics cards might
give better preformance if one doesn't use mediaLib to scale the image
and XShmPutImage it but instead use a OpenGL texture maped output.
mplayer has such anoutput mode and hopefully this could be adapted to
Ogle without to much work.
