I think you may run into choppiness whatever you do. I use about 60-70% CPU on a 1.1 ghz system (full screen or normal size) when playing back a movie ripped to my HD (yes, it's legal, DVD is back home in CA and my Emperor DVD hasn't arrived yet). I doubt the bottleneck is the drive. This is with mplayer on Linux and I use about 10-30% CPU as I type this message.

Your best bet may be to try something like mplayer and add a framedrop or frameskip option to the command.
