I'm using XFree DRI Debian packages and I'm quite satisfied with its results 
as they are marginaly better than outdated Utah drivers.

Always could be switched off in Config panel.

But as far as I know it makes noticable difference in playing speed.

Also note that allocated memory is just for the real size of decompressed DivX
movie - e.g. 640x250x2 bytes  per image - this is something like 5MB
for 15 buffered images - I think this should still fit nicely into 16MB
card ???

Rescaling to fullscreen doesn't take any extra byte - and is fully
made by hardware.

Well it was not finished at that time - however try it now
I think it should work well. And you could pick the mode
which would better match movie playing frequency - e.g.
30Hz movie might look better on 90Hz refreshed screen.
