Is it just the pager though? Why is E involved in doing all that work and
chewing CPU when mplayer is talking directly to the video card via opengl?

Thanks for confirming. Yeah, it'd be nice to have a control, or even just
window outlines with no updates.
It looks like there is no way to turn off snapshotting, and it's expensive
enough on my system that it looks like I should just turn off the pager
altogether.
Sometimes I miss the old e16 pager which worked well enough for me and
without being so resource hungry on graphics cards that were old and crappy
by today's standards. It didn't do real time updates, but I didn't care :)
Anyway, off to turning my pager off unless I misunderstood you.
Thanks,
Marc
