If you make the window smaller - playback will improve.

I have also found that if I place my quicktime movies inside a powerpoint
presentation that playback at larger frame sizes improves and the 'stutter'
you've been noticing goes away. Don't have a clue why that would be - but
I've recently made a few movies on my 500 ibook that I've played back in PP
with better results than in quicktime or keynote.
