Yes. For me too. I can believe your test but actually I believe to my 
eyes :)

I compiled xvidcore-1.0.1 from the ground and saw the terribly slow 
result. As I mentioned earlier the configure recognized my iMac as a 
generic platform and prepared the code to compile with no acceleration. 
Trying to tweak platforms.inc, etc. brought no luck, ppc asm code found 
uninterpretable by the gcc-3.3 assembler.

Then I replaced it to libavcodec and with the same xvid movie it 
produced a seemingly faster play speed without needing to tweek the 
code.

You told me I should use xvidcode from cvs. It means that the cvs 
version is much more ppc capable and faster than the official 1.0.1 
release which is freshly issued. How could it be? It is veeery strange 
...

Soon I'll check the cvs version giving one more chance to beat 
libavcodec.

Best regards,
