[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] limit weird numbers in resource display

refused, bad fix!
the resource % numbers can be >100% for normal users, when the system is too
slow to do the job. limiting it to 100% is bad.
btw, the meaning of those numbers isn't 'resource use' but 'resource needs'!

if you have problem with gettime implementatio, go and add workaround in
osdep/timer-lx.c or report as bug to the kernel maintainers, it's a bug.
