So it should completely take down older and slower hardware?!? Refuse to play 
more than, say, 3 movies, ok. But take down the system? No way. My good old 
Celeron 450 is too slow when compiling but furthermore still works 
wonderfully well.

The point is not how well it performs. The point is whether it takes down the 
whole system or not. If it doesn't unless you start 100 movies, that would be 
awesome. But I think you can easily stress it too much with only a few movies 
already. In that case refusing to play is better IMNSHO. Again, no numbers to 
back it up though.
