[mythtv-users] Shouldn't XvMC be faster than Xv?

I've been playing around with Subversion builds lately, and I've noticed
something that shouldn't be the case: XvMC is substantially slower than
non-XvMC playback.  Even non-HD video won't play back smoothly with XvMC
enabled.  HD, of course, definitely won't play back under those conditions.

Is there some configuration somewhere that I'm missing, or is XvMC currently
broken (again)?  I'm currently running the 8629 revision on an Athlon 64
3700 with a Geforce 6200, but I saw the same behavior with the 8444 revision
on the same hardware and on an Athlon XP 3000 with a GeforceFX 5200.
