Yes, the thing you're missing is that you're not using mga_vid. If you
have a G400, you can do the scaling in hardware, which reduces the CPU
usage dramatically.
To use it, you need the mga_vid kernel module; it's included with the
mplayer sources, and I believe there is a Debian package also.
If you compiled your own mplayer, you may have to recompile it too.
