  This isn't a fair comparison, as mplayer is just playing the video.
Gnash has to also handle playing the media player as well. Just handling
control buttons and a few other things is substantially different than
just playing the video. It should be possible to get better video
performance out of Gnash, but it'd be a big project. Some of this I hope
to do as I add RTMP support, since this will require major changes to
libmedia, including dumping libcurl in the process.

  Hardware accelerated video decoding and rendering would also help.
