I have a old junker I'm using to test this out with.
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
756MB RAM
ATI 9550 Radeon 256MB
I'm able to play xvids fairly well @ 24 FPS but nero avc videos are a different story - they run from 14 - 20 FPS.
Sorry im not a developer just an early adopter trying to start getting some numbers out. It seems that their is alot of room for optimizations or switching to a differnt intenal player.. im not sure you can get any good results with that set up with anything over 420p, 720 and higher will choke, right now its very cpu dependent, and even if hw video card accelleration was turned on, most cards only do mpeg2 acceleration , in the future h264, avc decoding will come to cards, but not sure when, and when at the linux driver level it will be avail.
my 2 cents
