Playing a QuickTime movie seriously slows down all other parts of my patch.

Besides the movie I have a poly~ with 5 concurrent voices, and an lcd that gets drawn onto every 40ms.

I saved the movie as low-quality as I could (it's 30 seconds of 320x240 - it's 200K big), and still - everything slows down.

The way it's set up now is that there is a jit.qt.movie object that gets a bang every 40ms from a metro, and feeds it into a jit.pwindow object.

I tried using qmetro instead of my Max metro, or connect Max's metro to a jit.qball and connect that into the jit.qt.movie.
