Set the alwaysBuffer of the player to True. It has been my experience so
far that this really degrades performance....

The player is constantly pumping out the currenttime of the movie. I have
placed this small script in the player ("yourPlayerName") and created a
field called "currentTime"
on currentTimeChanged
put (the currenttime of player "yourPlayerName"/600 into field "currentTime"
end currentTimeChanged
This will give you a running clock. I divided this number by 600 to get
the exact time in secs.
I hope this helps.
