If you put MPlayer in the fullscreen mode, it opens on its own screen, which is in the same resolution as your desktop and the image gets scaled by overlay so it doesn't make any extra cpu load.
It's not only image scaling but some acceleration as not scaled image in WPA mode requires significantly more CPU load (there is also VMEM mode which seems to use less CPU than WPA but it looks broken).
For example in emulators I rely on monitor's scaler because overlay is way too blurry and the performance is only marginally slower w/o overlay.
Unfortunately MorphOS port of MPlayer hasn't been updated for years and besides few other things it's not possible to run fullscreen mode on any other screen than desktop's copy one. Maybe it wasn't a big deal back when you couldn't have two separate outputs from one gfx card, but it is now.
