.mkv on mac osx

[mojohojo]

I find that playing .mkv files or other HD video files on mac slower than windows. This is on my 2008 macbook; comparing vlc player on mac os to when i switch over to bootcamp using vlc as well.
in mac os, the video files take a while to start up and usually stutters with frame lags; however in bootcamp, video's start almost instantly.
is this a problem with software (VLC) or just mac os doesn't handle mkv files well?

QUestion more suitable for the VLC forum maybe?

What are your specs? Install Perian and see if you get better performance in Quick Time.

I have no problems with mkv's in VLC and my late '08 unibody macbook
