Fun fact, media player screws up my performance. I often enjoy having it play songs in the background and it really hammers my performance for some reason. (Or maybe I should just open and not play songs?)
Do you run a multi-core computer? From current research it would appear this only effects multi-core systems and in particular AMD processors.
X9000 mobile core2xtreme (2 cores).

On my desktop PC (Q6600) I don't really notice a difference with or without media player turned on, although I'd have to check that again when I get home to do some testing. I mainly box on my laptop though and I know for a fact it's not improving for me there.
