Strange. I have a K6-2 400Mhz wkstation with XF86 4.0, Matrox MGA G200 AGP card and 128M RAM, and it didn't drop many frames from the movie trailers I used to test it from the disc that came with the player. I don't know if they are the same quality as the actual DVD movies or not though. Your player is using PIO4 which causes the CPU to wait a lot and causes it to be the gateway from memory to DVD and vice versa. Mine is using UDMA2.
