CPU % is about 60-80%, load average goes to 1.10-1.40, I tried the
-framedrop option it seemed to help a bit all it was done with 16bit Depth.
I did a quick install of Windows XP on this same box just see if it's true,
Media Player Classic with XP Codec Pack gave me good results, I could watch
the video without problems, but there was something odd about this card, it
seemed that it was slightly underclocked: GPU - 80Mhz, Memory - 60Mhz. Also
I got the same flickering, slow scrolling on windows too, so 2D performance
on this card is very bad. I will replace it with a 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 AGP
card.

for your suggestions.*
