Ok, so I owe you thanks.

Between the module options and the new driver, things are better.
I can now play and resize a video with mplayer without it dropping to 5fps
or less. I see some tearing in the video being played on occasion whether
it's original size, resized window, or full screen, but otherwise it plays
full speed and my system doesn't slow down to a crawl.

So things are much better, thank you :)
