Hmmm... not really, the rest of the computer keeps working fine. I do see a ton of stuff going on in the Console, tho, I'll try to post later some examples.

The strange thing is that there aren't many programs opened at that time, and nothing else that could be sucking the memory (it's usually Safari and Mplayer that are open).

Edit: This is what I usually get:

11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266] Possible reasons, problems, workarounds: 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266] - Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]   - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA. 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]   - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start. 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266] - Slow video output 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]   - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!

11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]   - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts, 
11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]     e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.

11/15/08 6:44:07 PM [0x0-0x28028].hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended[266]   - Try -cache 8192.

I do know that the slow message shows up, I use an iMac 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1 GB of RAM, and these are the settings:



I'm thinking about trying this, would it help?

lavdopts="threads=2" # this isn't too useful for some codecs where support
            # hasn't been put in, but if you have more than one usable
            # processor core in your computer you should try this to squeeze the most you can.
lavdopts="fast" # got a huge MPEG2 HD stream going that your poor machine
            # just can't handle?  Enable this, it cuts a few corners.
lavdopts="lowres=1" # decode at a smaller resolution; you get more errors, though
lavdopts="skiploopfilter=all" # drops the loop filter; speeds decoding up, loses some quality
framedrop=yes # drops frames (any filters you use won't waste processing speed)
hardframedrop=yes # drops frames and doesn't bother decoding them, even; causes distorted images!

Keep in mind that this happens with either HD MKV files or even low quality AVI files.
