True. What would be nice would be a CPU with a built-in DSP, so that the 
CPU can handle the network stuff and OSD and so on, and the DSP could 
do the heavy-duty decoding work.

I don't suppose Sony would let us borrow their Cell design?

What about something a little lighter than Theora? We don't really need 
that much compression on a 100MBit network. Something like HuffYUV 
(Lossless, http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html) 
or MJPEG perhaps?
