Hrm. Thats pretty interesting - and I honestly would not have
suspected this to be the case - in my tests on OS X, mjpeg has
consistently been the winner. My understanding reflects romans earlier
posts to a t.
Can you put/host the videos anywhere? How were you compressing the
Quicktime files and the XVIDs?

after testing many codec on linux, XVID is the best codec for filesize and cpu. both. playing a dv, jpeg quicktime or mjpeg avi are +- 35% of my cpu (640x480 / 30 fps). XVID will take only 7% of my cpu and the filesize is reduced by half. by forcing keyframe every frame i can (in theory) use it like jpeg, mjpep (skip, scratch etc...).
