mplayer -vo xvidix -framedrop file

you need to access the vidcard directly in some way rather than just
drawing on X or using vesa to get the real speed of your vidcard....

sharing interrupts between PCI cards shouldnt be a problem (PCI was
designed so that interrupts can be shared)

even the fastest machines will need -framedrop at one point in time or
another (multitasking causing a lag in video for example... even if
you arent activly doing anything else the hardware and its drivers
still are) if mplayer can help it it wont drop frames so it doesnt
hurt to use -framedrop....

if you are watching DVDs turn DMA on for the dvd drive... you cant put
every function on the cpu...
