This will make xine play the mpeg fullscreen at real time speed and then
exit, right?
The timings should me almost identical in that case because the
framerate dictates the playback speed.

Can I make xine play the file as fast as possible, somehow? I did not
find that option in the man page (or I overlooked).

If anyone knows a way to benchmark the video playback performance,
please post!
