(same as bug #367 on the old tracker)

rev 15 test 1 has the same large increase in CPU usage that was introduced in rev 14 test 3.

A quick test shows, for example, HD videos in avi and wmv formats taking roughly 30% more cpu than rev 14 test 2 (and earlier versions). Playing the same video in VLC takes roughly the same CPU as rev 14 test 2.

Settings for "optimise by degrading quality" or "drop frames" (or not) don't seem to have any effect on the difference between the versions.

So far I've not been able to upgrade past rev 14 test 2, as I'm unable to smoothly play many full-HD videos on my 2.4ghz core2 duo machine...
