Oh jeepers, I've made a silly error -- the reason videos were playing so
well as root is that root had no .mplayer/config, :)
Apparently I just needed to clean up my config file and now it works
just fine again with x11 driver. Didn't realize defining a couple of audio
and video filters would impact performance that much but apparently it 
really does, at least with avi and mkv files. Sorry for the noise!

For other reasons though it might still be nice to know how to give a
user directfb permission.
:)
