My opinion is that Quartz Extreme is overrated and most people 
misunderstood it. QE does not accelerate the video, it offloads the 
work from CPU to GPU, therefore making CPU work 'faster', so to say.
Of course, tere some other nice things that QE makes possible and 
desirable except for the speed itself, like Expose & stuff...
