One obvious difference: QuickTime Player computes and draws multi-
band audio meters in the lower right corner. Computing spectral
bands ain't free.

Hi,
I noticed that QuickTime Player takes a bit more CPU vs. other apps
(such as an embedded movie within TextEdit). To test, I downloaded
a 480P HD trailer from the Apple website and played it in QuickTime
Player. Within the player, the CPU usage was about 60% on my 1.25
Ghz Powerbook. Playing the same movie within TextEdit gave me
around 50% CPU usage.
Any thoughts on why the player takes up more CPU than TextEdit?
