FWIW and off-topic: if you can notice any significant speed gain, I'ld
suggest to change that to a 80586, the Pentium-generation. Based on 
the CPU speed and bus speed of e.g. a 80486 DX2 50 MHz, I doubt that 
anybody will grab a 80486 to watch a video with VLC and expect it to 
work. Both an i486 and an i586 don't match the minimum requirements of
your OS (W4: 80386, eCS: > Pentium I), so that's not a reason to stick
to an i486.

With a Warp 4 80486 notebook and the simple 320x200 
x:\OS2\APPS\KLONDIKE.FLC video, played by the default OS player, the 
CPU load is about 50%. So it's possible to play videos with i486 
hardwarde, but this'll be about the limit of that generation of CPUs. 
By default I'ld always suggest to print "same as OS" on the box, i.e. 
i386 (keeping Warp 4 users in mind) or no optimization, but there are 
exceptions like modern web browsing beasts (i486: not enough 
installable RAM for real use, for one) or up-to-date video players.
