I've done that testing - I have an OLPC B3 unit running V2 of the tasklet->workqueue patch, and all seems well. 30 FPS to the display and no dropped frames. The tasklets/0 process is running 3-5% CPU, in case that's interesting. For whatever reason, I see about 3% *more* idle time when running just mplayer than I did without the patch.
Consider my minor qualms withdrawn, there doesn't seem to be any trouble in this area.
Thanks,
jon
