Yes. My hw is the lowest that I have seen but I have seen results that
writes to vram even in some r600/r700 cards are slower than 20MB/s.

I guess it might be that bicubic filtering may need to read same
memory area multiple times causing extra bandwidth use. So with
bicubic fragment shader (or similar) actual video should be first
uploaded to VRAM before doing the bicubic scaling.

Yes. It plays smoothly in fullscreen (1024x768). But bicubic filtering
is not implemented for my hw.
