I am at a loss here, I've had this 12.04 ubuntu system setup for years now, just upgraded to gotham from frodo using xbmc-standalone, any kind of HD content makes it run like a dog, 15-20fps, and puts cpu usage over 100% for xbmc. skipping audio etc.
using hdmi for video and audio.
the big thing is I installed openelec on another hard drive and ran it and it runs perfectly. So it's not hardware.
it's an amd E-350 system
Things i've done. reinstalled xbmc, reinstalled fglrx. - no effect
put in a new hard drive and installed 14.04, and xbmc,fglrx (open source and the catalyst drivers) - no effect
downgraded to frodo - no effect.
put in a HD5870 to test, no effect.
even vlc and mplayer in gnome desktop cant play hd content right and runs the cpu ragged. It may not be an xbmc issue at this point but I thought someone might have an idea.
installed openelec on another hard drive, put it in, works fine. I am not sure what else I can troubleshoot.
All of the 'new hdd' tests have been done using the same hard drive, the 14.04 install that did not work on the openelec install that did use the same hardware.
Here is my verbose log. I tried to play a bluray rip of a Star Trek The Next Generation Episode during this logging.

Any help would be appreciated.
