  What I finally figured out was that "-march=native is *EXTREMELY*
conservative".  As a matter, I started a new thread on exactly that
topic<G>.  To summarize... "-march=native" had disabled  mmx, sse, sse2,
sse3 (aka pni), and ssse3, all of which are available on the cpu.  After
explicitly adding those flags to CFLAGS, emerging system+world, and
rebuilding the kernel, it runs 1080p just fine, thank you.
