Ian, to add facts to the fire about how different processors perform
on mpeg decoding, it would be great if you could report back typical
CPU usage/idle times for your system while it is decoding a 1080i
video or 720p video, perhaps from mpstat to see what both processors
are doing.

Right now in my tests the P4-hyperthreaded is blowing away the
equivalently "numbered" athlon, but it would be great to get more
real world examples.
