Tell me about it. I have one of the new Macbook Pros fully loaded and it still took me 15 min to load a mkv file once....and everything was starting to heat up by the end of it so much that my fans turned on.
Quicktime is really a horrible player too - no full-screen unless you pay for Pro, and it doesn't override screensavers either.
Unfortunately, perian was my only option for that file because mplayer couldn't play it fast enough (was getting choppy and audio started getting unpaired with the screen in high-action parts), and VLC wouldnt' do the softsubs
