I know quite a few PCs that can't play DVDs with just -vo x11 even without using -zoom but work just fine with -vo xv. In addition -vo x11 can not sync to vblank so you will see tearing. I also think you completely missed the videos that are not based on 10 year old technology like http://images.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/the_condemned/the_condemned-tlr_h720p.mov (that is one of those that actually need little CPU) and here -vo xv or -vo x11 easily makes the difference between playable or not even with a new PC.
