You need to turn on the "Use Vector-enhanced color space conversion"
in the Mac OS video settings screen  (in the theme I'm using, that's
under: Setup->Setup->TV Settings->Playback).

That turns on the MMX/SSE accelerated colorspace conversion, which
improves playback performance.   With non-mmx builds, it will work
without this enabled.
