Faster starting of playback in MediaPlayer

When I play a video file using MediaPlayer ActiveX, it can take up to about 3 seconds for playback to actually start. The delay depends on the file itself, but in a test of 4 files the delay varies between 530ms and 2823ms (monitoring the time before and after issuing 'Play'). I can reduce that time significantly by issuing 'Info_Read' after opening the file. This same test now returns delays between 281ms and 733ms. I would like to be able to get 'instant' starting of video file playback, preferably well below 100ms. Can that be implemented?

You can disable audio//video effects and so on. No other ways to make it faster.
