What's going to be involved in doing this optimising ? I'd definitely like 
to go 'Mac'
at some point if possible, but there's wouldn't be too much point until 
there is
a version of mplayer, mythtv, xine etc that runs as good as on PC.

Does anyone know what kind of shape mplayer on the Mac is in ?


True, but the 1.5GHz Intel Centrino's are every bit as fast in most
