Yes, that is the problem.  VP3 has a horrendously slow decompresser.  On 
my machine(1.2 GHz) I haven't been able to get it to play anything close 
to 640x480(@ 24 fps).

>- I read somewhere that older versions of VP3 are less resource demanding during playback. Is that true? Are older versions still available somewhere?

I beleive that this is true though I don't know where you would find them.
