i just checked the new version of totem with some .mov and divx files (proprietary plugins) and it's slower than when it was using xine. I am clearly seeing my video being a bit jerky on this P4 at 2.8 GHz, whereas it was more than fine when it was using Xine (it's not as smooth anymore).

Please optimize, it is *not* acceptable to have a perfectly working totem and then going one step back by using gstreamer, in terms of performance. Gstreamer is a great solution, but I am not sure it will benefit Totem at this point in time.
This task depends upon

Gxine will be in the repositories available in a short while to replace totem-xine. Arjan made a big patch to extend features and make it work like it should, expect it in the repositories somewhere this or next week.

Video is not jerky at all on my Athlon XP 1700+ testsystem, it only consumes 10% extra CPU compared to mplayer, which is not that bad.

I talked to on of the GStreamer developers, who told me that gst-plugins 0.8.9 and gst-ffmpeg 0.8.5 are in the release process. These releases speed up GStreamer a lot, so some patience would be good.

Together with these new gst-plugins and gst-ffmpeg, I will put totem 1.1.2 in the repositories, since that version, together with the new gst-plugins has most of the missing features resolved.
