You have dual core so 60% means: 50% (full one core) is for decoding,
and the rest 10% is for audio, resizing etc. You can't play the video correctly because your "decoder" is not multithreaded and uses just the one CPU at its fullest. Try using multithreaded version of mplayer "mplayer-mt" (in some overlay probably) with "lavdopts=threads=2" in mplayer config.
