MP 7.1 is still slow, but better than 7.0, the reason I use MP 7.1 is, there
is a sercurity hole in 6.x and 7.0, which could be only fixed by 7.1 (MS
didn't make a patch, they only say upgrade to 7.1 should fix the problem),
please check MS site for detailed info. But I mainly use Winamp for almost
all my audio needs.

I personally never like realplayer.
