No, that is definitely not the right way to go. We could actually detect situations where an overlay could be used, and use it automatically, if that makes sense. I'm not sure it does. Let us work on general video performance first and if we can't get close to VLC that way, then we'll see if overlay tricks are needed. We know we can improve performance quite a bit already without fundamental changes (e.g. we don't use MMX on Windows yet, and we're making some big improvements to the organization of our Ogg decoder).

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
