with QE enabled movies in VLC get a 5-10FPS boost. video's that played good without QE enabled play smooth. now without QE enabled some video's the video would play then would just pause like i hit the pause button, when i would hit the pause button when this happens and press play again the video will play a bit more than pause again. with QE enabled i run into that allot less. i think it has to do with VLC and its decoders not being tweaked enough. it has got faster in the new version (at least they are moving in the proper direction)

yea that is a make or break point in a way about flash on Mac cause i have a P1 200mhz system running 98SE that will play flash better than my Mac at over twice the speed the PC is. i hate that a simple flash game makes the system seem like its a real slow system when its not.
