David, I am running QuickTime 5.0.3 under system 8.6 on my 2400c and other macs just fine. Actually, I think it's faster at decoding and playing than the QuickTime 4.1.2 it replaced. See if you have activated QuickTime exchange in the QuickTime settings control panel: this slows thing down considerably because it forces the Finder to search for files having QuickTime-readable extensions (.mov,.jpg, what have you) and change their creator and type. I always turn it off with very good results. Otherwise I suggest you should take a look at your system folder and see if you have repeated extensions. Searching the system folder for most recently changed items may help.
