"Where did you get that information from?"

Honestly, it is more of a guess. But my understanding is that QtWebKit uses
GStreamer for media, and that GStreamer is in turn using the available
platform resources in an efficient way. In contrast (still to my
understanding that may be wrong) browsers such as Chrome and Fennec uses
their own media frameworks that are in a much worse position when it comes
to utilize platform specific capabilities.

If I'm wrong, please enlighten me!
